OK, more examination reveals that:
At the time this BEGIN block is running, this call: 
      my @keyfile_vars = grep {
 		$_ =~ /DBI_SecretKeyFile$/
 	} keys %{ Apache->server->dir_config() };

is returning EMPTY.

Meaning it's evaling too early to see the dir_config???????  Or what?

PerlModule Apache::AuthCookieDBI
PerlSetVar AdminPath /admin
PerlSetVar AdminLoginScript /scripts/adminlogin.pl
#PerlSetVar AdminLoginScript /error/adminlogin.html

# Optional, to share tickets between servers.
#PerlSetVar AdminDomain .domain.com


# These must be set
PerlSetVar AdminDBI_DSN "dbi:Oracle:STATS"
PerlSetVar AdminDBI_SecretKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/admin.secret.key

# etc.



Ideas?

- PerlModule Apache::AuthCookieDBI
> PerlSetVar AdminPath /admin
> PerlSetVar AdminLoginScript /scripts/adminlogin.pl
>
> # These must be set
> PerlSetVar AdminDBI_DSN "dbi:Oracle:STATS"

+ PerlModule Apache::AuthCookieDBI

My ealier message reveals the solution: move the line
PerlModule Apache::AuthCookieDBI
to *AFTER* the line(s)
PerlSetVar BlahBlahDBI_SecretKeyFile /path/to/keyfile

It now works perfectly!

Thx for putting up w/ me bouncing my problem-solving off the list...
hopefully somebody will save the day & a half I just spent on this.
