Implementing security in CGI

[Differentiated Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd.]

Hi,

We are having a site which is programmed with perl/CGI.
To enter the site we have a login and password.
After which some reports are displayed.

I know that using cookies it is possible to secure the site.
Can somebody guide me on how to design and implement a cookie based
security. Sites and books on same will be greatly appreciated.

Would Apache::Session be useful for this ??

Thanks for the help,

Murali
