Looks good, overall.

I like the Apache::Framework:: namespace :)

What's the difference between Apache::Auth and Apache::Authen ?  They
both seem to have authentication handlers.

There are modules that do Authen+Authz,  and some that incorporate general

::Auth. The Authentication handlers go into Authen, as well as other 
modules *only* related to _authentication_.
