Hi All,

I use Basic authentication on part of my site, using an .htaccess file.
I would like to be able to pass a username/pass to this part of my site,
from a perl script.

So a user would type in their username and password into a cgi driven
form, and then the cgi would call a new page, that is in the
authentication required directory, and pass the username/password as
environment variables.  

I know how to get the username password in a perl script, after basic
authentication, but I do not know if it is possible to go the other way -
to give the username/pass to an .htaccess protected directory from a
script.  It seems like it should be easy.....

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Phoebe Reed
