It's not a time-saver for me - the module is fully documented (344 lines
of docs), AND there's a test suite.  If you find that some information
is missing from the documentation, please tell me.  The docs never
advise to "just copy" anything, they merely point out that the test
suite is often a useful place to find code that works.  Everything
should also be fully documented.

Simply copying the example is actually a *bad* idea since it'll probably
mean one won't really understand how things work.  Not good for an auth
system.

What difference would that make?  But if you want it, I'll mail you mine
off-list.

That error isn't coming from Apache::AuthCookie, it's coming from Apache (or
its basic auth module).  For one reason or another, you still seem to be
configured for basic auth.  Are you sure you have the AuthType and AuthName
parameters set correctly?
