Re: CGI::Application::Authentication and Static Pages

Hi digger,
there is also the possiblity to work with perlauthenhandler.

This way you are able to write your own authentication mechanism, based on cookies or whatever.

I don't know however if this possibility is suitable for you, since you write about some limitations.

Some links:
- http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlAuthenHandler
- http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/security.html#Non_authenticated_access_for_internal_IPs__Authenticated_for_external_IPs

I've used perlhandlers and they're pretty slick. But its probably tough to get mod_perl running on shared hosting...
