Not much to go on, I will assume to want to have your own user/pw file and manage them yourself via CGI.

First off, if on unix, make the file permissions 600, so that you and only you can even read them.

As far as users getting logged in, there are multiple nodes here on passing passwords, maintaining state, sessions, etc, etc. Some quick searching should get you squared away quickly.

Be careful with this! (take all the warnings you get here to heart, you're likely gonna get a handful!)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
