What version of mod_perl are you running? Apache::AuthCookieDBI reads in
the secret key at server start time (so the keyfile can be root-owned and
only readable by root), but to find the configuration directive that sets
the keyfile for each authentication realm it scans all the PerlSetVars with
dir_config. But dir_config is only available in mod_perl startup code as
of a certain version of mod_perl -- I'm not exactly sure which version
that is. Try upgrading to the latest version of mod_perl and having another
try at it.
I should probably give a better error message for that case; a similar
problem exists with make test, since the module assumes that it's being
run under mod_perl... I will put both on my TODO list for the module.
I haven't sent out an announce message for this module (been on holiday);
I'll do that as soon as I get a chance.
