HANDLERS

Apache::AuthenDBI::handler
This handler authenticates against a database such as Oracle, DB2, Sybase, and others supported by the DBI module. For supported drivers see: http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI

This handler users HTTPD to lookup the username and password. This may change.
