What i meant was without any other web serving software on the box, i.e apache, extra module which aren't installed on gameserver boxes normally.

Ok with CGI::Sessions i couldn't get the to recognise individual users, they jsut kept me logged in. So i tried the ip loggin method but this doens't work for AOL users i believe.

I simply couldn't work out how to do the HTTP authentication method.

Cookies and other standard HTTP methods should work fine if i understood them enough to code them into my server, the web server was written by me and is very basic, making use of as few modules as possible, the idea being to keep the software as small as possible and to require the minimum of extras to run it.

I think the main problem here is i don't understand enough about using sessions in perl either with CGI ro without, and i can't find any useful help on the web.
