Just my two cents about it:
- Use sessions. Learn about them, it's a very useful feature for your case. Maybe Apache::Session can do the trick for you, maybe not (not sure if works on Win32). Anyway, search CPAN about it.
- Another way of making unauthorized access hard is to test the HTTP_REFERER. This will tell you from where the user is coming to see the image, so you can restrain that the user must come from the image index page, for an example. Obviously you put a check in the image index page to see if the user is coming from the login screen.
Hope that helps. Best regards,
