Model View Controller. I get it now, thanks for the clarification..

I probably should have linked instead of copied this stuff. I'llretro it 
in today at some stage.

Yep, I am doing the latter - mod_perl for both on different ports (8080, 
8081) and I'll phase out the working mod_perl non-RHES instance on the 
other port (8081) when I have 'officialised' it. ie. got it working 
mod_perl (instead of mod_cgi as it is now).

Getting auth_ldap worked out for me last night too by the way and I 
can't say the same for authz_ldap which I tried first. It 'partially' 
worked without going into the specifics here.

Thanks Les and all.
