Tosh,
If your users are already verified or not, try using a switch statement
based on their inputs directing them to the needed function.
If they already have cookie info use that as your switch/case redirection.

You may have seen my other recent questions to the list this month, the
gist of which is:
I want to setup an application for multiple clients, each of whom have
their own users.
http://www.site.com/clientA/application.pl
http://www.site.com/clientB/application.pl
http://www.site.com/clientX/application.pl
So the users of "clientA" log in to
http://www.site.com/clientA/application.pl and are authenticated with
Apache2::AuthCookieDBI
Now the directories clientA, clientB, etc. do not exist, I'm using
mod_rewrite to sort that out, and here starts my problems. First I'm
lost with authenticating since there's no "real" resource to
authenticate against, but I seem to have solved that by forcing
authentication against all *.pl files which luckily do exist ;)
It gets more complicated later because some URLs like
http://www.site.com/clientA/iCal can't use session cookies but have to
use BASIC AUTH, and other *.pl files can't have any authentication
applied against them.
I thought I could solve this by writing a MyAuthCookieDBI.pm but this
also isn't working out. For example MyAuthCookieDBI is an almost-empty
child. The parent (Apache2::AuthCookieDBI) has a function
_dbi_connect() which manages all the database connecting, but I can't
overwrite that function, even if MyAuthCookieDBI is the calling object
the function from Apache2::AuthCookieDBI always gets called rather than
the overridden function in my object.
That's kind of the tip of things, basically I'm realizing that I need
professional help with this task before I end up requiring professional
help for my nerves!
So if anyone can help with this then please contact me offlist with terms.
Thanks!
Tosh
