Hi,

if you are using apache as webserver you won't need cgi's for this.
Just go to http://www.apache.org/ and look into the documentation (.htacces)

Hi! I am trying to figure out how to put passwords on part of a site, but I don't really know where to start.

Should I have a perlscript run for every page accessed checking for a cookie? Or how should I go about it?

Preferably, I want different users to login to different pages... Is that possible? If I have a perl-script on every page, will that put a lot of strain on the server?

I'm very grateful for any suggestions or advice,

Thanks
Martin J
