Re: Auth Question need some input

[Alexander Burrows <al...@yahoo.com>]

Thanks. You guys have been a great help. I'm going to use Apache 2 and
mod_perl 2 for my next project so I'm sure you'll hear more from me as I've
never touched it. Looks like most of it is backwards compatible though and
when in doubt changing Apache:: to Apache2:: looks like it will work most of
the time =)
