PerlAuthenHandler advice needed.

[Todd Chapman]

I have read chapter 6 of the modperl book but still don't know how to set
up authenification the way I want. I would like to use Basic
authentification to protect virtual documents. The trick is that I want
to set AuthName and AuthUserFile based on path_info.

For example:

http://virtual/companyA/dir1

would prompt for a password in the companyA realm and check it against the
appropriate AuthUserFile.

How do I add this flexibility without reinventing the parts Apache already
does so well?

Thanks.
