Something like the following?



package My::CookieAuth;

use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Cookie ();

sub handler {
  my $r = shift;

  return DECLINED unless cookie(COOKIE_NAME);
  return OK;
}

__END__




In httpd.conf, you will need to set this as the PerlAuthenHandler 
for the protected files/directories and `require any' to get Apache 
to actually call it.  This is not the most efficient, but it could 
be a starting point for what you're looking for, if I understand 
what you're looking for.

Exactly. I just didn't want to write it if somebody else had done it already ;-)
