Right now I don't have a web server to run my site from. I'm doing the site at home for a small business (my first venture into this sort of thing) and I'm just running it off my local host. Therefore, when I finish I plan to then start looking for web-server's to host the site and scripts. So I'm not sure there is any way I could use the standard web-server's authentication / authorization way of handling log-in without knowing where and how my site will be hosted. Unless there is a standard they all use. I know I will have to use a Windows server because the site makes extensive use of MS access which is what the business I am doing this for uses. But I'm not sure how to take advantage of things in terms of the server. All I know is what I have been working with in terms of perl/cgi stuff. Any suggestions for reading on an intro to this sort of thing?
