in reply to mod_perl question on PerlAuthenHandler

This not hard at all. In fact, you may want to take a look at Apache::Session, which may do what you want already. If it does not, looking at the source code will give you an idea of how to get this done. There is also the book 'Writing Apache Modules in Perl and C' by ORA, as well as tutorials somewhere off of perl.apache.org.

Cheers,

    I've got the book, but I have no ability to use a database backend for this server.

    This means that all of those cool database using modules are useless to me.

    I'm going to take the C version we have and port to mod_perl for now. I have no idea what else to do and I am not sure I can do it any easier.

    Thanks,

      So, modify the modules to use DBM files, or text files (ick), or keep a cache of the data in memory (ick), write the data to a global hash and use Data::Dumper to save current information periodically. Or, install MySQL :) This is not hard!
