You would need to use something like a cookie. > Also, shooting myself in the foot on this, In the future I would like > to split the server into 2 processes, and httpd and httpd_perl , so > mod_perl overheard is only used when necessary.

We use mod_auth_tkt, but it only supports apache 1.x. I'd like to find something equivalent for 2.x. It is cookie-based and allows for different levels of auth. A pretty useful mod, especially since you can share auth with web apps written in PHP or Java. - Perrin
