Apache::AuthCookie causing strange-"Use of uninitialized value."

[Per Eric Rosén <pe...@rosnix.nu>]

I use Apache::AuthCookie 3.04, which seems to be the latest version, under
Apache/1.3.26 Ben-SSL/1.48 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.26.

When I use "PerlFixupHandler Apache::AuthCookie->recognize_user", Apache
writes "Use of uninitialized value." in errorlog for each request and
subrequest. I have tried editing AuthCookie.pm, checking everything with
defined(), even substituting recognize_user with a stub function.

Still it is there. I am not sure it comes from perl, because perl use to
say "at line X" too. But from what else?

This has been up before, but no one answered it then:

Thanks for your response!

Well, I do. I just pasted the wrong text (from the 2002 mail).
The actual configuration snippet is:

<Location />
        AuthType TAS::Cookie
        AuthName TAS
        PerlFixupHandler TAS::Cookie->recognize_user
</Location>

Another observation: It does only appear when no cookie is received.
When users are logged in, everything is fine. And, yes, I checked
recognize_user and put in a defined() around the cookie check. No result.
Even a bad cookie (manually deleting the session) makes it quiet.

I'm using quite the same setup (without PHP and ssl) and do not get those
errors.

You have to subclass Apache::AuthCookie. This should be something like:
  PerlFixupHandler Your::Sublass->recognize_user

Maybe this is causing the problem?
