Hi.
From a heavy (indirect) user of Apache2::AuthCookie (and it's 2.4 incantation), first of
all, thanks. And in particular, thank you for the work done to make this compatible with
the changes in Apache 2.4, despite the paucity of original documentation available.
And I don't speak for everyone, but as far as I am concerned, I would indeed vote for
retiring the 1.x version code.
Note: I do not really use the released Apache2::AuthCookie as such, having long ago
derived my own version of it and added multiple alternative things which make it
unshareable, but I regularly refer to the latest code of Apache2::AuthCookie to keep mine
up-to-date.
So again, thanks.

Hi folks.
Sorry for this slightly off topic thread, but in the past announcements
about AuthCookie were typically made to this list.
I'm the maintainer of Apache::AuthCookie (and Apache2::AuthCookie) and
am wondering if there are any people out there still using
Apache::AuthCookie under mod_perl version 1.x (and as such apache 1.x)?
Given that apache 1.3.42 was the final release of Apache 1.3, which was
way back in 2010, I am hoping that everyone has moved on to Apache 2.x
long ago.
As a result, I would like to formally drop support for Apache 1.3 from
future versions of Apache::AuthCookie. This would allow me to clean up
the dist a bit, and be able to publish a consistent set of dependencies
in META.* in the dist.
If you really require Apache::AuthCookie under apache 1.3 at this point,
you can get a previous version of AuthCookie from backpan to address that.
If you really do need AuthCookie and getting it from backpan is a
problem for you, please let me know.
Thanks!
Regards,
Michael Schout
