in thread authenticate via cgi-bin

Yep,

I tried that one also

Authen::PAM works also only as root. You always get a authentication failure when you try it as a normal user.

    Hi ,

    The perlauthenhandler (sub directive) can be used to bypass the cgi from authenticating (if you could change the conf files .

    The use of suexec shall make the CGI process to run in the unix id itself ( not the nice way infact not recommended)

    You could install module in your own directory , that making it global (installing as a root) . The summary is people tend to go from seeing the /etc/passwd or configuring suexec on (as there are better ways to authenticate or authorize than the unixids)
