I am looking for a mod_perl implementation of mod_auth_dbm that takes cookies instead of "HTTP-AUTH Basic". Or perl implementation of mod_auth_cookie, perhaps (I think mod_auth_cookie does exactly that).
I was sure I would find it in CPAN, and, sure enough, AuthTicket and others are there, offering far more than I was expecting... But I could not find one that deals with NDBM files. A search for Apache::Auth* is not returning likely candidates.
Unless there is a DBI/DBD driver that would allow using NDBM files with AuthTicket? There doesn't seem to be any :(
I am tempted to add NDBM support to AuthTicket but I am 99.9% certain that there _has_ to be a module providing the functionality I am thinking of.
Just to clarify, I don't need the 'ticket' mechanism, just cookie-based auth against DBM files, with the same options that mod_auth_dbm offers. Oh, and lazyness is one of my virtues ;)
cheers,
martin --
