mischief
<p>As [echo] says, you shouldn't use the Limit directives in this case - it really means "only limit the http request methods...".
<p>Just to clarify, all you have to do is turn this:
<p><code><Limit GET POST>
require group Xdwp
</LIMIT></code></p>
<p>into this:
<p><code>require valid-user</code>
<p>The first example means that to log in successfully, the username submitted has to match the password of that user (obviously), and also be in the group "Xdwp". In the second example, all that has to happen is that the username has to be in the password file.
<p>This has absolutely nothing to do with perl though, so I'd suggest having a look at <a href=http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#require</a>the docs on httpd.apache.org</a>.
