Maypole doesn't use any cookies at all. It really just provides a convenient
place, the authenticate sub, for you to use them to authenticate and checks
there automatically to see if a user gets authenticated (ie it calls the
authenticate sub early in every request) . By default authenticate just
returns OK so you app is wide open.
Maypole::Plugin:Authentication::UserSessionCookie is a good user session
system for maypole.

That's all i can help you with. One more thing, maypole-test.pl that Dave wrote
uses Maypole::CLI and works great in VI with the perl debugger. Why not use it
like that? Also, i had to disable my authentication to get it to run thru
(just made it return OK again) but don't know why.
