If you do the authentication separately (e.g. via some other Apache authentication 
module), then an existing mod_perl response
handler will not care, and nothing will change at the response level.
The only thing that will change is that, if the authentication is NOT sucessful, the HTTP 
request will never even reach the mod_perl response handler, it will be rejected before 
the handler is called.

If your question is related to using a mod_perl module to do the authentication, that is 
quite different, and you will need to express your needs more precisely.

Maybe have a look here, to understand what happens when :
