$FB::COOKIE_DOMAIN

Cookie domains should simply be set to .$domain.com, based on the Netscape Cookie Spec, but some older browsers don't adhere to the specs too well. $FB::COOKIE_DOMAIN can be a single string value, or it can be a perl array ref like:

["", ".$DOMAIN"];

%FB::DBINFO is a hash that contains the necessary information to connect to your MySQL install.

User Capability Classes

$FB::NEWUSER_CAPS

Default capability class mask for new users: (16 bit unsigned int … each bit is capability class flag)

%FB::CAP_DEF

Default capability limits, used only when no other class-specific limit below matches.

%FB::CAP

This hash defines capability class limits. The keys are bit numbers, from 0 .. 15. The values are hashrefs with limit names and values.

Note

You don't even need to have different capability classes! All users can be the same if you want, just delete all this. The important part then becomes %FB::CAP_DEF.
