In my conf file, I have the following directives:
AuthType Apache::AuthCookieRMSDBI
AuthName RMS
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthCookieRMSDBI->authenticate
PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthCookieRMSDBI->authorize
require valid-user
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RMS::C
Wait, ignore that - I was getting my Apache::Session and my
Apache::AuthCookie signals crossed. Sorry.

Error.pm was good, and you should use it, but you should not use the
try/catch syntax, or at the bare minimum only catch in your outermost

Well it sounds like most of your design goals are pointing you towards

Ok, great stuff, now we're getting somewhere. So, the model = the

Have that proactive signin area forward to a page behind

Well, let's start with the basics...
In httpd.conf (or mod_perl.conf or wherever) you have...

right? From the error you describe it sounds like you don't have this
variable declared correctly.
