Hi darren
Did you try starting apache with "httpd -X". It spawns only one process and that helps keep things in order, as far as variable values. You can try trouble shooting with that.

Are you sure that this is the code that is running? It doesn't compile:
$ perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
print "";
my $r = Apache->request;
$r->content_type("text/html");
$r->status(200);
my $auth_type = $r->auth_type;
$cookie=$auth_type->key;
($user,$hash)=split(/:/,$cookie);
read(STDIN, my $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
my @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach my $pair (@pairs) { }
Global symbol "$cookie" requires explicit package name at - line 7.
Global symbol "$user" requires explicit package name at - line 8.
Global symbol "$hash" requires explicit package name at - line 8.
Global symbol "$cookie" requires explicit package name at - line 8.
Execution of - aborted due to compilation errors
Make those global symbols ($cookie, $user, and $hash) lexical (declare
with my) and the code will both compile and do what you expect (i.e.,
not maintain values from call to call).
You'll also want to print things *after* you set the content type and
status, not before.
