Yagna, my best advice is to use Catalyst to get this functionality nicely.

You include Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication just like it says in the Catalyst Tutorial.

You basically end up leading off each templated page that you want restricted to logged-in users with this:

[% IF c.user_exists %]
...the rest of your content here...
[% END %]

Your home page or whatever you want to call it won't include this code at the head, so users who haven't logged in yet can see the content that you've not restricted. It works nicely without a lot of fuss. Have fun!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
