This snippet is probably most useful when you have a light front-end apache server proxying a heavy, mod_perl-enabled backend. This snippet assumes the front-end has authentication required.

(This seems to work, use at your own risk)

In your httpd.conf: 
<Location />
  # This is a local server for local clients.
  # We'll have no trouble here.
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from 192.168

  # Front end is Auth configured and passes back the
  # Basic header, we trust it and set ->user
  <Perl>
  { package AcceptAll;
    sub handler { return ($_[0]->get_basic_auth_pw)[0]; } 1;
  }
  </Perl>
  PerlAuthenHandler AcceptAll
  AuthName    "MyName"
  AuthType    Basic
  require     valid-user
</Location>
