I've given this some more thought. I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss, as I'm not privy to your entire script. So based on the info I have. I can only best suggest. That you use a session-based auth setup. One that performs a re-direct, if not already logged in. That way, if you attempt to initiate your Image::Magick script when not already loggen in. You get a redirect to the logon page. Then, after being looged on, the page provides a link to your Image::Magick script.

Not the most specific answer/solution. But without a bit more info. That's the best I'm prepared to offer.
