i have create a little cgi program that request a username and a password to enter the next web page. the html code is: 
<html>
<head>
  <title></title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Start of FORM -->
<form method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlenoded" action=
+"http://localhost/cgi-bin/login.cgi">
<p>Username: <input type="text" name="user"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="pass"></p>
<input type="submit" value="login">

</form>
<!-- End of FORM -->
</body>
</html>

[download]
and the cgi code is: 
#!d:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w
use strict;
use CGI qw(:all);
my $cgi = new CGI;

#usernames and passwords
my %login = qw(antonis koukou giannis zabon);

my $user = param("user");
my $pass = param("pass");


print $cgi->header.
        $cgi-> start_html();

if ($pass eq $login{$user}) {
    print $cgi-> p("Welcome back $user");
            
}else {
    print $cgi-> p("Sorry invalid username or password");
}
print $cgi->end_html;

everything are fine, except that if you dont enter a username and a password you still have access to the "Welcome back $user" web page. I cant figure out what is wrong.
