Ah, I didn't know that's how mod_auth_cookie worked, in this case, the
order does matter.  This new option in 1.3.4-dev should help:

  *) Add APACI --permute-module=foo:bar option which can be used to 
     on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar) 
     in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants
are 
     supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module 
     mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to 
     the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority).  And second foo:END 
     which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves' 
     the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority).

Use APACI_ARGS=... with Makefile.PL (or in .makepl_args.mod_perl) to pass
this stuff in.  http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/apache-1.3/
Another option is to setup everything with Makefile.PL, edit
$APACHE_SRC/src/modules.c, moving mod_auth_cookie to the end of each list,
then 'make test && make install', etc.
