The way it is normally done you use CGI for all your server side jobs such as keeping track of sessions, entering data in databases or other content stores, sending out mails etc, etc, etc. The end user gets to see a nice page with html, css and javascript that does all the funky ajax stuff (which calls your server side script written in perl) to spice things up a bit. It is no different then creating something like this with PHP, VB, J2EE or any other server side language. Even the techniques used to communicate between the javascript on the customer side and the code on the server side will be the same. So much so that you can use things like jQuery or GWT on the client side and implement the server side in Perl without the user noticing the difference. There are lots of examples but looking at what you are building I would advise having a look at a lot of the security related examples as well things that explain how your side can be hacked sessions taken over and information from users copied as most examples you will find online seem to completely ignore the security aspect of building a website which in your case could cause serious problems.
