Angel,
I recommend Apache::AuthCookie. This has worked really well for me, and
allows me to use an HTML form which is much nicer for my users than the
default dialog box.
FWIW - I sub-classed AuthCookie to authenticate against an LDAP directory
(using Net::LDAP) but you can use a RDBMS just as easily.
You might also argue that it's more secure as you don't have to keep
passing the username/password combination as you do with basic
authentication but you should use SSL for hte authentication to be really
secure.
If you need to store session data, you can hook it up to Apache::Session.
A combination which works superbly in my experience.

Ok folks, I am stumped.
I am writing an authentication handler for our site and so far so good->it is
coming on line. It makes sense. What does not make sense is how can
I log myself off without having to exit the browser? If someone can point me
in the right direction I shall be in your debt. TIA, -ar
