CGI::Cookie is compatible with Apache::Cookie - I think it's almost a drop in replacement, I recently changed an old maypole 2.10 application to use CGI::Cookie instead of Apache::Cookie and I think it was 2 lines of code changed by a few characters. I'm afraid I don't use any of the ready-rolled authentication, as I can write one by hand quicker and easier than I can jump through the hoops required for the authentication modules :) However I was thinking that the maypole request should provide a standard cookie API, that can then be used by authentication modules, etc. The authentication modules are a little out of date - none of them are actively maintained, so it would be good to update them to use the built in Maypole cookie code once I release 2.12 - which should be in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, it's worth reading the authentication tutorials available, and building your own, it's usually only takes a little longer and it means you don't have to rely on 3rd parties keeping up with Maypole development.
