I recommend Peter Thiemann's Wash/CGI highly -- that's what I'm using
nowadays.  Peter has put a lot of work into making it a very complete
system, and there is also a paper and tutorial material. The best thing
about it, though, is the very simple way in which it supports sessions:
you just define a form as a number of elements combined using monadic do,
you name the values entered into input fields at the time you create the
fields, and you supply a call-back function for the submit button. That's
it.
