Hi, after the recent discussion here about Perl application servers I
realized that the architecture I designed is probably better suited to
usage with an application server than mod_perl.
The basic structure of my mod_perl web application is:

Ok, so it seems with Apache > 2.4 the functionality of
Apache2::AuthCookieDBI can be duplicated using modules, specifically:
mod_auth_form AND mod_authn_dbd
This article gives a good writeup about it:
https://kodingnotes.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/authentication-in-apache2-4-part-1-installation/
ith a combination of mod_authn_dbd and mod_auth_form at
the Apache level. This still doesn't resolve my issues since I built
additional functionality on top of his module...

Hi, I've taken a stab at updating Apache2::AuthCookieDBI myself as per:
http://search.cpan.org/~mschout/Apache-AuthCookie/README.apache-2.4.pod
I've changed the parent of Apache2::AuthCookieDBI to
Apache2_4::AuthCookie but that doesn't seem to work, even with the
http.conf changes noted:
Does anyone know the status on this module?
Or have a suggestion for a functional replacement for 2.4 ?

I suspect this is related to this:
