It is indeed possible.  All you need is to hook up a mod_perl
handler that consistently returns AUTH_REQUIRED, coupled with
a cookie that tracks the state of changes.

Please refer to line 122 and below in:
    http://p4.elixus.org/depot/pause/lib/pause_1999/authen_user.pm

for a concrete example (that runs pause.perl.org).
