Authentication additions

[Frank Wiles <fr...@wiles.org>]

  Hey Everyone, 

  Philip mentioned on the list that we should include some info about
  how to use your own forms with auth handlers. 

  Any comments on where this info should live?  

  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlAuthenHandler
  seems like the most logical place, but I'm worried that it won't be
  found there. 

  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/coding/cooking.html makes sense
  to me also, unless this section really is just for Cookie related
  items. 

  Let me know what you guys think is best and I'll put up some text. 

  Thanks!

If this is mp2 specific, then maybe add a chapter after cooking recipes on 
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/index.html?  Perhaps 'Authentication 
How To' or something similar, with a reference to the chapter in Geoff's 
book on this subject (although that's mp1).

If I were looking for this information on the site and didn't know where 
it was, I would be tempted to look in 'General Documentation' or 
'Tutorials' off the main documentation page.

Personally speaking...

I'd like to see
	
	Part III: Coding
		Frequent Tasks

and then
	have your solution in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/ 
http.html#PerlAuthenHandler
	cross reference it in Frequent Tasks
	and have the Frequent Tasks section as a bunch of cross references  
to the existing and new documentation that fits well in other places

because, honestly, mp needs a 'frequent tasks' page and there are a  
lot of random tasks that exist already but are hard to track down

thats my  thoughts.
