in reply to User authorization and design of larger web/intranet applications.

Use Mason.

Create /auth/autohandler, regular user authentication code.
Create /auth/admin/autohandler, admin use authentication code.
If authentication fails bump them out to /index.html

Thats how the current system I'm creating now works.

    That isn't an option because of several reasons. Among them: I haven't worked with Mason before and don't have time to learn it and unavailability of mod_perl.
      Mason does run without mod_perl, but I wouldn't recommend it ;) Nor would anyone else using Mason most likely ;)
