DESCRIPTION

With the PerlAuthenHandler set, you may define a subroutine handler to preform the authentication check. This module provides some building blocks and some full-fledged handlers.

HANDLERS

Apache::AuthenDBI::handler

This handler authenticates against a database such as Oracle, DB2, Sybase, and others supported by the DBI module. For supported drivers see: http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI

This handler users HTTPD::UserAdmin to lookup the username and password. This may change.
