@John
Thanks for the reply, but
PerlAuthenHandler Authen::special
doesn't work. It worked in mod_perl 1, but mod_perl 2 complains that it
can't find Authen/special.pm in @INC.
@André,
Thanks for the reply. I was reluctant to use this solution because of the
OOC orientation of this syntax, but it isn't actually mandatory to define a
class in order to use this. You just have to be aware that the custom
handler will receive the request object as its second argument instead of
the first.
---
package Authen;
sub handler {
my ($r) = @_;
# regular case with $r as the request object
}
sub special {
my (undef, $r) = @_;
# special case with $r as the request object
}
---
PerlAuthenHandler Authen->special

Cheers,
Cédric Bertolini
