      i mean the prompt box which gets input from user at runtime .
      We have this in CGI script .
        You're not explaining yourself very well. You probably want to use the perl module CGI, but I already mentioned that, maybe you're talking about basic HTTP authentication?
        Actually our requirement(problem) is like this :
        we have a script( say data update script which update data in database) which is present in linux box. script is hosted on Apache which is installed in same linux box.
        we are executing the script in windows box .
        who ever accessing or executing the script in windows box there name should be passed to script(which they are executing ) and the script have to update in database .
        To get user information we planned to use the login prompt.
