User authentication for some Perl CGI scripts
Hi,
I am trying to create a web interface with Perl CGI with 2 pages. The content of these pages is dependent on the user accessing it. Thus, I need some kind of authentication to identify WHO is logging in but I DO NOT WANT to be restricting the pages to a few.
What is the best way to prompt for a username/password from within the Perl CGI code (without building one more form) ? Also, once authenticated, how can I make sure the username/password box is not prompted on moving to the other page.
Appreciate any help in this regard. I can explain in more detail if required
Regards,
garric
