what handler phase as we in?

I have a module that does authentication and authorisation. In my Apache
configs I have:

PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthX::authenticate
PerlAuthzHandler Apache2::AuthX::authorise

I'd rather just use:

PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthX
PerlAuthzHandler Apache2::AuthX

and let the handler function Apache2::AuthX::handler() deduce what has
to be done (i.e. authenticate or authorise).

How can handlers tell which phase they are currently in?

Anthony.

You do end up paying a small overhead in forcing that determination at
run time in your code, but I agree it's somewhat neater.
