in reply to (OT) Is there some Apache:: module for htpasswd work?

I installed mod_perl, and then I found Apache::Authen::Program. I modified the code to come up with my own authentication module.

What's cool is that now I can make my own "require" statements. 

<Directory ...>
  AuthName "Foo Bar Authentication"
  AuthType Basic
  PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AcaciaAuthen
  require valid-user
  require deny ~^tmp
</Directory>

where "deny" ensures the user is not one of the given users, and a username starting with "~" is treated like a regex done on the username. Yay Apache! Yay mod_perl!
