Well, there are two nice modules at CPAN,
Maypole::Authentication::UserSessionCookie and
Maypole::Authentication::Abstract, but both require Apache::Cookie at
the moment.

It should be easy to make them usable with both CGI::Maypole and
Apache::MVC.
When i get some time i will see what i can do for my
Maypole::Authentication::Abstract.

Btw. Who is the new maintainer of
Maypole::Authentication::UserSessionCookie?

Yes, a simple header interface would be nice.
It's now on the todo list...
