I actually went the ModPerl route. But the basics are the same. An
.htaccess file in the directory should work, as should putting the
authentication requirements in the main (or an included) Apache config file.

It works now, so well I am wondering what the problem was in the first place!
Perhaps a proxy in the middle was messing me up.
I am not the type to ask such a question as I asked, where the setup is straight. I do believe the ISA2006 I have on the LAN was messing me up.
