Authentication on a web page

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,
I'm looking for a Module to do user/session authentication.
Basically I'd like to write a webpage that people need to log into to post their comments, and once they are logged in, it 'remembers them' (cookies or is there a server side method ?).
So far I've found Authen::PAM, that that appears to be more OS user based than web session based. Can someone point me in the correct direction to look?
