[cgiapp] auth advice

["Andy Taylor" <suppressed>]

I've been reading posts to this list for quite a while and appreciate all the helpful discourse. I'm about to start a fairly large project I think cgi::app will be good for but the authentication part is proving  a stumbling block. The advice of Jesse and others to leave the authentication and authorization parts to the server - separated from the main code make much sense to me. That said, I don't have the option of installing  mod_perl...the server my project will run on is used by many others and it can't afford the memory hit as well as the security issues that come with the shared environment. What I wanted to ask the list is....have any of you had success using cgi:app with some of the smaller more specific authentication/authorization apache modules like mod_auth_mysql etc. that don't require mod_perl. I envision having one separate module for logging in, another for changing passwords/user info, and then the main application broken down into several cgi:app's that don't contain any auth code.
