use CGI qw/:standard/; $secretpass = 'joemama'; $password = param('password'); if($password ne $secretpass) { print "Sorry sucker wrong password";&print_lofin_screen;exit; } The problemm with this is : 1) you have your secretpass in plaintext - you may want to implement some security there 2) you have to pass the $password with every form submission and link to itself.
