See if HTTP authorization is what you want. Your browser will show a standard popup requesting for username and password. You can set up HTTP authorization in Apache. From what I found, it's not possible to do so with Perl CGI (for mod_perl would be ok). It seems like the entered password will not be passed via the CGI mechanism.
For the Apache-based configuration, say if you apply the authorization on the URL /somedir then everything inside this path will be protected. You will only be prompted for authentication the first time you enter. Once you are in, browsing pages inside require no further authentication. That does not require any Perl code changes.
