acces control via cookies for webdirectories

hello list

i try to figure out, how to protect webspace with mod_perl. the 
situation is like this:

someone wants to access a certrain file on the webserver. if he have a 
cookie set, this one will be validatet by a remote database and,
if the database allow the access, the access to the directory will be 
allowed.

i tryed it with the <location /custom-content>-directive like this:

<Location /custom-content>
         SetHandler perl-script
         PerlHandler  Test::MyAccess
</Location>

in the module i figure out the cookie from the %ENV-hash, validate it 
and i can make a decision, if the request is allowed or not.

my problem now is, of i redirect th the directory, the access-process 
falls into an infinte loop..:-(

i would like to shown now the content of this directory and even more, 
php-scripts in it must then be displayed and executed, and sent back to 
the client.

thanks for your help and any ideas!
