Re: PERL & PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)

This isn't directly possible. You'll need to write a shared lib that embeds Perl; you can go from there. It's likely going to be a lot of work though - probably much more than you will want to invest, judging from the fact that you'd prefer to write your PAM module in Perl.

Makeshifts last the longest.

It shouldn't be too hard to write a shared lib that makes RPC calls to a server writen in perl, listening on a unix or internet socket, implementing what the shared lib pretends to implement. There are already tons of PAM modules that consult various servers for information.
