For requirement (2) you can get the submitted password user name from $ENV{REMOTE_USER}. Presumably if he got this far then this user is properly logged on, so you'd just check whether this particular user has delete rights. Or if you want him to submit his authentication a second time for security, you can get him to do that into a CGI form and then check validity using Apache::Htpasswd. edit 26/9/02 spartacus9 is quite right, and tactful to call it a 'minor' point - it is of course the user name you get and not the password - my bad.§ George Sherston

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
