    Install mod_ssl on your Apache webserver. Configure the directory that your script is in to use SSL with the SSLRequireSSL directive. Here is a sample block from my server: 
    <Directory "/var/www/perl">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    SSLRequireSSL
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Sample encrypted stuff"
    AuthUserFile conf/users
    Require valid-user
</Directory>

    As you can see, I'm using basic (plaintext) authentication using the htpasswd utility and password file. Hope this helps.

      I am not on Apache, I am using Microsoft's IIS. I am running Windows NT server, and i am not using any htpasswd or passoword files as you mentioned. Is it the same for IIS?
      Also mod_ssl i should install it through MSDOS as such ppm install mod_ssl but i need to have a mod_ssl.pm file. Right?

      Thanks a lot, appreciate very much.

        Sorry, I don't do Microsoft. You're on your own. :(
