Hello all
Sorry to have to do this but I really need to ask a stupid question
I’m using the module Apache::AuthTicket and after following the example on the cpan site it works.
However the documentation is confusing me a little. This could be down to my misunderstanding or just my stupidity
I let you decide on that one.

I wish to change the login form to my own custom page.
Now I can see the documentation stipulates that you can overload subclasses. But to be honest I don’t understand this
im guess it means I can override the subroutine with my own? Possible with this next line?

In the example it talks about “void make_login_screen($r, String action, String destination)” this is were im starting to get confused
Is it simply the case of commenting out the make_login_screen in the original source and adding my own or can I feed some form of variable (like the one above) to apache/mod_perl to use another script/page to output the new login form?

If the later is correct were do I place such statement in apache or the original source.

As ever thanks in advance for any input you maybe able to give.
regards,
Gareth
