Hi Brian,
I've had my share of problems with this module as well. I've found the following two solutions which I submitted to CPAN RT[1]:
1) place the PerlSetVar at the very top of your httpd.conf
In the Global ENV section? Doesn't fix the issue.
2) instead of using PerlModule, use the following:
<perl> use Apache::AuthCookieDBI; </perl>
Tried that too, and I'm still getting the same errors.
I've even tossed this line into the BEGIN block ....
Apache::log_error( "DEBUG: >$auth_name< in file >$keyfile<" );
and i get no output, either on server restart or on script invocation. (i'd expect it at server startup ).
BTW, I've submitted several other reports to CPAN which the author has so far ignored. The most troubling one is "Incorrect processing of authen_cred()"[2]. I've submitted a patch which you may want to apply. Let me know if you'd like a copy.
I might need to take a look at that patch. The error that shows up is from sub authen_ses_key ....
i can tell because it's a horribly constructed sentence. :-P ( didn't the secret key .... )
--b--
Good luck, William
