Actually, with a little bit of help and a little config tweaking I got 
this working.

1.  created separate include files for the Perl directives and the 
Location/ Directory directives.  one is in the main server config ( Perl 
directives) and the other is part of the VH config.

2.  realized that part of the problem with the testing setup was that 
/LOGIN was also considered protected  because of the PerSetDirectory 
being set to / ... changing that to /logintest fixed it, and I can now 
log into the sample part of the site.

I'll need to make a few changes from another thread to finish the 
install of this, namely aliasing the /LOGIN Location to something 
'outside' of the docroot ( per a thread on Apache::AuthCookie ).

thanks for the help
