i can't recall if that works quite right either.

that should work.

this will not. i think a better approach, assuming you want
authentication to be conditional, is to configure Auth{Name,Type} and
require valid-user in httpd.conf so the authentication phase is triggered.
if you decide you don't need to authenticate:
$r->push_handlers(PerlAuthenHandler => \&Apache::OK);
that is, you don't actually do any authentication, but apache is happy and
carries on since you return OK. otherwise, push your real authentication
handler.
