I think what you are looking for is available in the pnotes() method
it isn't documented in the book, but a recent version of mod_perl and
perldoc Apache should be able to help you, now that you know what to look
for...

> <Location /Racing_Links>
> SetHandler perl-script
> PerlHandler Apache_Car::Authen Apache_Car::Start_Page
> Apache_Car::Racing_Links Apache_Car::End_Page
> Options ExecCGI
> </Location>

> The site is completely dynamic with not one page of html besides some
> templates I parse myself. The module Apache_Car::Authen is what I use to
> determine access and layout of every page requested. When a user logs in,
> Apache_Car::Authen then gets his/her personal data from a MySQL Database
> which is then used to layout the site to their personal prefs. Currently,
