in the code line 154 is this:
$r->subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason', 'bad_cookie');
and on 157 this:
$r->subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason', 'no_cookie');
im not sure why your having problems on setting this
the examples in the cpan tarball on the login.pl page are like this
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $r = Apache->request;
$r->status(200);
my $uri = $r->prev->uri;
my $reason = $r->prev->subprocess_env("AuthCookieReason");
then in his html code it says:
<P>Failure reason: '$reason'. Please enter your login and password to
authenticate.</P>
which shows up if its a 'bad cookie' or 'no cookie'
basically the authentication failed
one thing to mention in the prev not prev subprocess
is that you set it as subprocess_env and then call it with prev later
