What were you searching for?

Well, that's fairly simple: you haven't defined subroutines called
"Scott::Serve->recognize_user::handler" or
"Scott::Serve->login::handler" :-)

Why did you decide to subclass Apache::Registry?

So why not call the Scott::Session::Auth methods directly instead of
needlessly going through Scott::Serve?

If you have read and followed the Apache::AuthCookie docs and have made
Scott::Session::Auth a subclass of Apache::AuthCookie as described in
the docs, then calling the Scott::Session::Auth methods directly will
solve your problem.

I know why the ::handler is at the end because I have read man mod_perl.

You should have included your config in your email, but I believe that
it is correct since I know where the problem actually is.

That's not the only other possible explanation, although it is usually
the explanation you give when things go wrong.  Since thousands of other
people are using Apache mod_perl like this, I would suggest that the
most likely explanation is that you have made a mistake somewhere else!

OK.  You haven't read man mod_perl_method_handlers.
