Hi Torsten, Thanks again for your reply. You might be right, I am probably not doing things correctly although I don't believe I am doing anything fancy. I can't see where I might be fiddling with the objects you mentioned. I have uploaded my MyAuthenHandler.pm and the modules it relies on for configuration perhaps if you have time you could peruse the code and let me know if I am doing anything wrong for this type of operation. Thanks again for your help on this. http://www.nabble.com/file/p17356582/MyAuthenHandler.pm MyAuthenHandler.pm http://www.nabble.com/file/p17356582/MyModPerlUtility.pm MyModPerlUtility.pm http://www.nabble.com/file/p17356582/MyModPerlDBUtility.pm MyModPerlDBUtility.pm -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PerlAuthenHandler-and-ErrorDocument-401-tp17330888p17356582.html Sent from the mod_perl - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
