Tie::Htpasswd

[kayos]

Category:

CGI programming

Description:

If you have a "membership" area that uses HTTP Basic Auth, then you probably have to edit the .htpasswd file pretty often. This module let's you treat the .htpasswd file as a Tied hash.

This module uses Apache::Htpasswd.

Example:

use Tie::Htpasswd;
tie %htpasswd, 'Tie::Htpasswd', "/home/httpd/htdocs/.htpasswd";

$htpasswd{username} = "password";   # assignment automatically crypt()
+s
delete $htpasswd{username};         # removed from .htpasswd

untie %htpasswd;                    # save the file

        my $obj = [];

        return (bless $obj, $pkg);

                $self->[$F_DATA]->htpasswd($key,$value,1);
        } else {
