This looks like a simple error to debug and solve, but I can't see in the actual code what the issue is ... The Error:

Looks all normal, since "can't find method foo" errors usually mean a package isn't used. but in my httpd.conf:

    use lib qw# /home/httpd/htdocs/libs #;

I'm using the sample config to make sure I can get things configured correctly. TestCookie::AuthCookieHandler gets called, and it looks like this:

package TestCookie::AuthCookieHandler;
use strict;
use Apache;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use Apache::AuthCookie;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA);
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+   
$VERSION = substr(q$Revision: 1.2 $, 10);
@ISA = qw(Apache::AuthCookie);

( it's just Sample::AuthCookieHandler from the distro renamed and moved. )

so, i'm including the Apache module, and I have this as my server setup:

Server Version: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) Resin/2.1.11 PHP/4.3.1 mod_perl/1
+.27
[download]

so i have a mod_perl enabled server, Apache::AuthCookie installed ... everything *should* work ... but it doesn't, and i'm lost ... any pointers?
