I've heard rumors that it is possible to call a Perl script after a htaccess authentification.

I've searched the perlmonks archives and have seen references which use mod_perl to handle situations such as this. However, mod_perl is not available to me at the moment.

Is there another option which will allow me to do some post processing?

Or failing this, is there a way that I can wrap the authentification process with a Perl script so that is it invisible to the user?

I'm really trying to avoid a double login process. This is totally annoying to some users. But I do need them to be logged in for the purposes of htaccess control as well as control in my scripts.

Thanks in advance,
Claude
