I want to log users in at the front of the web For a site whose contents are entirely protected, I'd use basic auth with a cookie override. That's what I've done in the past. Neither of these require perl or mod_perl, though. See the apache module registry at www.apache.org for references to my mod_auth_cookie which tricks Apache into converting a cookie into a basic auth header. How you set the cookie is up to you... How you authenticate depends mostly on your needs of maintaining the database. I've used flat files with htpasswd, dbm files with htpasswd and my own home brew scripts, and MySQL tables with my own scripts. None of these require mod_perl, either, but you can use mod_perl based versions of the necessary authentication modules.
