Basicaly I am making a site with the following functionality: A user logs in to a site, after this all of the site is geared to them (IE their name is in the top corner). The only way to do this where a user only sends their username and password once, and it can't be faked by doing http://mysite.com/index.pl?user=root is using Apache::Access. Unfortunatly, I can not really understand the documentation. I am planning on using a database for authentication, how exactly do I connect to it? And how do I varify the users password? Also, is there a better way to do what I want?
Thanks,
Max

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
