$Id$ Apache::AuthCookieDBI is a module that subclasses Apache::AuthCookie and is designed to be directly used for authentication in a mod_perl server. It is a ticket-issuing system that looks up username/passwords in a DBI database using generic SQL and issues MD5-checksummed tickets valid for a configurable time period. Incoming requests with tickets are checksummed and expire-time checked. It is currently in production use at http://www.snapple.com/ and seems to work pretty well.
