I'm using a PerlAccessHandler to protect pages. When
the page is initially accessed, it triggers an
authentication process. The PerlAccessHandler calls a
content handler which gets Database values checks
them, does some cookie stuff and then finally allows
access to the original page.
What I want is to place certain key values extracted
from the initial database call, (processed by the
content handler) into the CGI %ENV environment. The
values will be dynamic, dependant on who logins in,
and they would be used to limit access, set page
options etc, based on say a value like,
$ENV{'LOGIN_GROUP'}.
The idea was to make values necessary for later page
processing easily available to CGI and the result of
only a single database call done from the handler.
Any ideas?
