9.12: How do I put a password on my web pages?

To enable authentication for your web server, you need to configure your
web server. The configuration is different for different sorts of web
servers--apache does it differently from iPlanet which does it
differently from IIS. Check your web server documentation for the
details for your particular server.

The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They
are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up,
so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any
corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every
operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for
corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms.
Working code is greatly appreciated.
