checking userid and password against windows domain (Active directory)

hi.

to prevent separate systems with different accounts, i am looking for a perl
module that will allow me to check the userID (username) and password against a
windows domain (win 2000 active directory).
the perl script is not run on the windows2000 server itself so a network logon
is requiered if possible.

are there any modules that support this?

Yep! Have a look at Win32::Lanman and the function NetUserCheckPassword
