I read the docs as i started this exercise and was aware of $r->auth_name, $r->auth_type, but since they did'nt work and I kept getting segfaults when using them I decided to try other routes. But anyways I'm glad that I read the docs right and that you can indeed set the AuthName using $r->auth_name.
As for the authenticate subroutine, I just copied that from the eagle book, just as a demonstration...
I'll upgrade my mod_perl from 1.2.1 -> latest and see if these work for me.
Thanks for the helpful insights and explanations Doug....I have seen the light ;)

no need for that.

or this because..

..apache will send the headers when you return an error

there's no Apache::sub_request method

this will core dump if AuthName is not set in the configuration file.
not with the current cvs though, see previous message.> $r->note_basic_auth_failure;
this won't work right unless you've set $r->auth_name($val)
