I know of the existance of Apache::Htpasswd, which can manage .htpasswd files for Apache servers, but that's not really what I'm looking for.
On a site I'm developing, a user must authenticate him or herself with Apache's basic authentication (.htaccess and .htpasswd). What I'm looking to do is to retrieve the user name the user just logged in with (for use in a personalised greeting). Short of storing a session-long cookie, is there any other way of doing this in Perl?
