Apache::AuthTicket lookalike for DBM files

[Martin Langhoff <ml...@nzl.com.ar>]

I am looking for a mod_perl implementation of mod_auth_dbm that takes
cookies instead of "HTTP-AUTH Basic". Or perl implementation of
mod_auth_cookie, perhaps (I think mod_auth_cookie does exactly that).

I was sure I would find it in CPAN, and, sure enough, AuthTicket and
others are there, offering far more than I was expecting... But I could
not find one that deals with NDBM files. A search for Apache::Auth* is
not returning likely candidates.

Unless there is a DBI/DBD driver that would allow using NDBM files with
AuthTicket? There doesn't seem to be any :(

I am tempted to add NDBM support to AuthTicket but I am 99.9% certain
that there _has_ to be a module providing the functionality I am
thinking of.

Just to clarify, I don't need the 'ticket' mechanism, just cookie-based
auth against DBM files, with the same options that mod_auth_dbm offers.
Oh, and lazyness is one of my virtues ;)

cheers,




martin
