Thanks for the reply ElfMage.

I'm basically trying to log a user in from a custom login. The user management is written in Perl, as opposed to PHP. The issue is that sessions are not in existance in the sessions table until the user logs in for the first time.

Has anyone else created a custom login for vbulletin, integrating other apps into the site?

Ook, I figured this out. Vbulletin does a one-way md5 hash to create the session_hash. So I created my own session hash in perl and inserted it into the table with the remaining needed keys.

My custom login is working now for the site, Vbulletin and MediaWiki. I'll probably write an article on my blog about integrating Vbulletin and MediaWiki into an existing website.
