I have finished patches against Apache AuthDBI version 0.94 that
definitely work with mod_perl1 to implement sha1 & md5 encryption in
addition to crypt.
I have placed a patch, the original 0.94 and the patched 0.94KAM up
for download at http://www.thoughtworthy.com/downloads/.
It uses a fall-back methodology for mixed-encryption environments such
as an upgrade where new users will use SHA1 and old users might use
MD5 or crypt.
It provides a framework where new encryption methods should be
installable in a matter of minutes by editing one subroutine and
adding a subroutine for the encryption method. As a point in case,
after implementing SHA1, I then installed MD5 in under 5 minutes.
I tried to handle the coding in a style close to the existing and also
updated the documentation. There was also an obscure bug where I
believe the salt was not set correctly for people using the alternate
userid salt and caching.
Feedback appreciated especially on where to submit patches for
inclusion into the main release.

Any chance you could look at generating a patch set against
http://p6m7g8.net/Apache-DBI/Apache-DBI-0.96.tar.gz
Thanks.
