yakoval:

I don't really know much about web programming, as what little I did was a long time ago in a different language. Hopefully a better-informed monk may have some good insight. It's a common task, though, so I'm sure that there's code code you can leverage from CPAN or the web. If I were approaching a new web programming job, I'd certainly not write my own login and session management code--I'd dig through CPAN and see what's already out there. (In fact, I did a quick search for "Login" on CPAN and it came up with a few likely candidates.)
