in thread Logging logins!

mod_perl is an Apache/Perl integration module. You usually consult the webserver admin about using it. I wouldn't recommend installing it (even if you had rights) if you don't know what you're doing :) Go for a less complex method of doing what you want. If you feel comfortable with perl, look into mod_perl and give this a try.
Anyway, if the admin asks, the settings defined above go in the apache config file (like httpd.conf) and the module goes in the Apache subdir in your Perl directory (I don't mean cgi-bin !). I do assume your admin has a clue and you have a VERY good reason to do this :)

    The reason for me needing to do this is purely to keep a text log of who logs in.

    In the following form or similar would be fine:

    user1 : 20/05/02 @ 12:00
    user3 : 20/05/02 @ 12:01
    user2 : 20/05/02 @ 12:02
    user5 : 20/05/02 @ 12:03
    user4 : 20/05/02 @ 12:04


    That is the only real details I need, and would like to keep it as simple as possible while sticking to the use of the .htaccess file.
      That Apache::LogAuth can be tweaked quite easily to do that... That is however not the issue I'm having. I fear that, if you don't know what you're doing, you'll hurt yourself with that code. Be smart and use another snippet and ignore the above node as long as you don't understand mod_perl :|
