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.

Mason(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mason(3pm)
NAME
Mason - Powerful, high-performance templating for the web and beyond
SYNOPSIS
foo.mc:
% my $name = "Mason";
Hello world! Welcome to <% $name %>.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Mason;
my $mason = Mason->new(comp_root => '...');
print $mason->run('/foo')->output;
DESCRIPTION
Mason is a powerful Perl-based templating system, designed to generate dynamic content of all kinds.
Unlike many templating systems, Mason does not attempt to invent an alternate, "easier" syntax for templates. It provides a set of syntax
and features specific to template creation, but underneath it is still clearly and proudly recognizable as Perl.
Mason is most often used for generating web pages. It has a companion web framework, Poet, designed to take maximum advantage of its
routing and content generation features. It can also be used as the templating layer for web frameworks such as Catalyst and Dancer.
All documentation is indexed at Mason::Manual.
The previous major version of Mason (1.x) is available under the name HTML::Mason.

future of the website will be wrt Mason 2.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks to Stevan Little and the Moose team for the awesomeness of Moose, which motivated me to create a second version of Mason years after
I thought I was done.
Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa and the PSGI/Plack <http://plackperl.org/> team, who freed me from ever worrying about server backends again.
