Hello,

I am in the process of developing a CGI application that requires user
authentication. In the past I have developed a simple login screen where I
validated the user and forwarded the request based on the result.

I would like to progress to the next level and pass the authentication to
Apache. I am limited in the sense that mod_perl is not available. Can this
be done without mod_perl? Please keep in mind that the username / password
are stored in a mySQL table?

Any comments are appreciated.

-Kevin
