💖 Authen::Simple::Apache 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Authen::Simple::Apache — the PerlAuthenHandler handler for Apache 🎀. Yeah it's a 3pm page, yeah it's a Perl module, and yeah it's about to make your Apache auth situation immaculate ✨. It lives in the Authen::Simple family, and it's the one that hooks your login flow straight into Apache's authentication handler pipeline. iykyk 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so… the synopsis section is literally empty in this page 💀. no example code, no usage snippet, nothing. bestie said "figure it out" 🙈. (Not me making up an example — I would never, because the facts do not change, periodt 👑.)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

and the description? also blank 🌸. iconic of it, honestly. the vibe is: it's a PerlAuthenHandler handler for Apache (that's the whole NAME line, btw, just folded in up top like a lil bow 🎀). that's the entire description we got. no cap. 💅

🦋 METHODS 🦋

okay here's where the actual substance lives, bestie. three whole methods, and they're giving main character energy ⭐:

  • handle( $class, $r ) — the handler method, and look at those args: $class and $r 👀. $r is the Apache request object, if you were wondering, and $class is, well, the class. slay.
  • handler_mp1 — the mod_perl 1.x handler entry point 🧚.
  • handler_mp2 — and this one's for mod_perl 2.x, because our girl supports both generations, fr fr 💜.

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

real talk time, and I need you to hear me on this one:

Currently only basic authentication is supported. 😭

that's it. that's the limitation. if you were hoping for digest, or anything fancier, this is not the module for you, bestie. basic auth only. she said "one thing, done well" 💅✨.
