it feels like "everything is obvious to everyone but me" doesn't
it? :)

presumably that's a typo: PerlAuthzHanlder ? (always a good idea

i used the Apache::Ticket examples and learned that i needed to
modify them for my purposes, but it worked with <Location>
directives just fine, WITHOUT an empty directory to match. (in
fact, creating such an empty directory interfered in a big way.)
