hi all...
buried within perl.com this week is my latest article
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/07/08/mod_perl.html
which covers how to use Apache 2.1 authentication from Perl. one of
the biggest benefits of Apache 2.1 auth over Apache 2.0 (or even 1.3)
is the ease at which it opens up Digest auth, so if that is of
interest to you then you really should check out the 2.1 Apache branch.
the Apache::AuthenHook module the article discusses is on CPAN
http://search.cpan.org/author/GEOFF/Apache-AuthenHook-2.00_01/
enjoy.
