you need a Require directive for apache's auth* hooks to run.  see the
introduction to chapter 13 of the mod_perl cookbook here

  http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch13.pdf

and the rest of the chapter as well, if you're interested.  the concepts
are the same between httpd 1.3 and 2.0, though the code will require a
bit of modification for mod_perl 2.0.
