James -

That's worth looking into.  The docs for Apache::AuthCookie say you have to 
implement two functions (authen_cred() and authen_ses_key()), and a login page. 
 Presumably you have written perl scripts to do this for your LDAP store; would 
you be willing to send me a copy of them to crib off of?

Jeff
