This question is probably not directly related to PERL but because I will be using it, I would like to ask you where I can find some docs that would deal with this subject.

I will be creating MySQL database (nothing serious) with PERL user interface. I also will want to authenticate users via MySQL.

I would greatly appreciate any info on the subject (I am mostly interested in the authentication part, namely, how one goes away from basic authentication and uses MySQL to accomplish that).

Thanks.
