Perl website login and session
Hi,

I'm currently working on a perl website, and I would need a system where a few users can login into the administration side of the site. about 5-10 users maximum, all pretty simple.
I was thinking of using an .htaccess file and a seperate admin folder on the server. I'm wondering if there is any way to use the username someone entered in the perl scripts on the admin pages. (for example, to put a "logged in as:" field on the webpage somewhere). Maybe there is a variable or something I can use.

I'm also wondering what my other options are in this matter, for instance, making an actual login page, how would this work? can I make a users table in a database then (with password encryption).. I'd like it to be secure.

Any help is welcome, this is a good learning experience.
