i THINK mod_auth_mysql has been depreciated as of 3 years ago, give or take,
in lieu of the development of DBI:DBD.
instead, a module was written to take advantage of that so that any database
that has a DBD port, could use authentication, including mysql.
The current package is libapache-dbi-perl
if you do an `apt-cache show libapache-dbi-perl` it talks about AuthDBI.pm
which is its replacment.
it provides some examples so you dont need to know perl :P
