    Hi Tom,

    first of all, let me try to understand your question. You say a "401 http
    response arrives". Do you mean by this that the apache server has
    generated a 401 response (NOT FOUND), and before this response is returned
    to the client, you want to intercept the process and create your own
    response.
    As you might know, mod_perl enables you to hook into the different phases
    of the apache request handling process. The response phase is about the
    last phase in this process. I'm not sure whether you can setup a handler
    that will check the response before it is actually sent (without doin lots
    of other stuff). You could check if the PerlFixupHandler is of any help
    (see: http://www.apacheref.com/ref/mod_perl/PerlFixupHandler.html). You
    are able to check and set the status of a request within a mod_perl handler (see:
    http://search.cpan.org/~gozer/mod_perl-1.29/Apache/Apache.pm#SETTING_UP_THE_RESPONSE)

    If I understood your question wrong, please let me know.
