I've been pestering the author of CGI.pm about a symptom I've been seeing in my error logs. I've been doing PerlAuthenHandler development with: CGI.pm-2.56 perl 5.005_03 apache_1.3.9 mod_perl-1.21 under FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE. My test code only makes use of CGI::Cookie, not CGI.pm

perlhandler - CGI.pm - no request object?

I've pawed though the archives, to no avail... I've almost, but not quite, have Apache::AuthCookieDBI working for me. The symptom I'm seeing (to my eye) is that my browser is never getting cookies sent back to it, even if I hand login.pl a valid user/password. (So I infer from the final error
