I think Doug has depricated > mod_auth_dbi. Yup. It's replacement was mod_perl+Apache::AuthenDBI. Edmund Mergl now maintains it as part of his ApacheDBI package, which also includes a new module Apache::AuthzDBI that does group authorization via DBI. The driver is configured via .conf (see http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/ for available drivers) It should also work with DBI/DBD::ODBC under win32. And, simply adding 'PerlModule Apache::DBI' to your .conf transparently makes DBI connections persistent. see: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Apache/ApacheDBI-x.xx.tar.gz -Doug
