Unfortunately I can't check the details for you now, but I've done some
experimentation with Apache::AuthCookie and came up with my own subclass
Apache::AuthCookie::AuthPAM. You can get it from
http://www.saunalahti.fi/~juhaml/Apache-AuthCookie-AuthPAM-2.14.tar.gz
As the name implies, it uses the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)
as the authentication backend. As such, it appears to do the authentication
properly, but the temporary session data files will be left behind, so
some external cleanup of these files is required. It also includes
a small example www directory tree that should help you forward.
