Hello everybody!

The following script is written in PHP and does basic http authentication.
Now I have to do this in Perl, but I don't know how to do it.
Actually i'm a real Perl beginner :-(
Can anybody help me or tell me where I can find written help or code examples? 

<?
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER))
 {
  Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"myrealm\"");
  Header("HTTP/1.0  401  Unauthorized");
  echo ("Acces denied");
  exit;
 }
else
 {

  if ($PHP_AUTH_USER!= "user" || $PHP_AUTH_PW!= "password")
   {
     Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"myrealm\"");
     Header("HTTP/1.0  401  Unauthorized");
     echo ("Acces denied");
     exit;
    }
  }
?>

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Sorry if this is a FAQ.
