The code will look different depending on the webserver, fortunately there's Plack (an abstraction layer between webservers and applications) and it has middlewares which are software components that are executed before the application, one of them Plack::Middleware::Auth::Basic allows you to quickly implement an authorization layer. Plack can be overwhelming at the beginning because it's radically different to everything else (in the Perl world), but definitely something worth any minute spend on it as it's the new black	[reply]

one of them Plack::Middleware::Auth::Basic allows you to quickly implement an authorization layer. I think Plack::Middleware::Auth::Basic is specifically for the Basic Authentication scheme (i.e. the "standard" one), described in RFC2617 section 2, while Plack::Middleware::Auth::Digest is for the Digest Authentication scheme (what I suppose the OP is looking for), described in RFC2617 section 3.
