Mod_Auth_External is an Apache module used for authentication. The Apache HTTP
Daemon can be configured to require users to supply logins and passwords
before accessing pages in some directories. Authentication is the process of
checking if the password given is correct for a user. Apache has standard
modules for authenticating out of several different kinds of databases.
Mod_Auth_External is a flexible tool for creating authentication systems based
on other databases.

As HTTP is a relatively stateless protocol, each request generates an
authentication attempt. While this is cheap when authenticating against dbm or
htpasswd files, it can get very expensive when running against a Windows
domain controller, ACE server, or other networked database, particularly on
image-rich pages and FancyIndexes from mod_autoindex.
mod_authenticache provides a secure method of caching credentials in order to
more efficiently serve in these situations.

pgLOGd, simply put, is a program that takes web server log
entries and sends them to a database. It is called pgLOGd
because of the database it was designed to function with,
PostgreSQL.
It is fast, robust and features fall-back-logging to a text
file. It is flexible and typically uses less than 128K of
memory.

HTML::Breadcrumbs is a module used to create HTML 'breadcrumb trails'
i.e. an ordered set of html links locating the current page within
a hierarchy.
HTML::Breadcrumbs splits the given path up into a list of elements,
derives labels to use for each of these elements, and then renders
this list as N-1 links using the derived label, with the final
element being just a label.
