Below is a patch for Maypole-Authentication-UserSessionCookie to allow 
it to work with Apache2. This also required some changes to 
Apache2::MVC, so I'm including a updated version of that too.

=head1 NAME

Apache2::MVC - Apache2 front-end to Maypole

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package BeerDB;
    use base 'Apache2::MVC';
    BeerDB->setup("dbi:mysql:beerdb");
    BeerDB->config->{uri_base} = "http://your.site/";
    BeerDB->config->{display_tables} = [qw[beer brewery pub style]];
    # Now set up your database:
    # has-a relationships
    # untaint columns

    1;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Maypole is a Perl web application framework to Java's struts. It is 
essentially completely abstracted, and so doesn't know anything about
how to talk to the outside world. C<Apache2::MVC> is a mod_perl2 based
subclass of Maypole for.

To use it, you need to create a package which represents your entire
application. In our example above, this is the C<BeerDB> package.

This needs to first inherit from C<Apache2::MVC>, and then call setup.
This will give your package an Apache2-compatible C<handler> subroutine,
and then pass any parameters onto the C<setup_database> method of the
model class. The default model class for Maypole uses L<Class::DBI> to 
map a database to classes, but this can be changed by messing with the
configuration. (B<Before> calling setup.)

Next, you should configure your application through the C<config>
method. Configuration parameters at present are:

=over

=item uri_base

You B<must> specify this; it is the base URI of the application, which
will be used to construct links.

=item display_tables

If you do not want all of the tables in the database to be accessible,
then set this to a list of only the ones you want to display

=item rows_per_page

List output is paged if you set this to a positive number of rows.

=back

You should also set up relationships between your classes, such that,
for instance, calling C<brewery> on a C<BeerDB::Beer> object returns an
object representing its associated brewery.

For a full example, see the included "beer database" application.

=head1 INSTALLATION

Create a driver module like the one above.

Put the following in your Apache config:

    <Location /beer>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler BeerDB
    </Location>

Copy the templates found in F<templates/factory> into the
F<beer/factory> directory off the web root. When the designers get
back to you with custom templates, they are to go in
F<beer/custom>. If you need to do override templates on a
database-table-by-table basis, put the new template in
F<beer/I<table>>. 

This will automatically give you C<add>, C<edit>, C<list>, C<view> and
C<delete> commands; for instance, a list of breweries, go to 

    http://your.site/beer/brewery/list

For more information about how the system works and how to extend it,
see L<Maypole>.
