[MacPerl] Checking user-id's and paswords

["Jon Warbrick" <jw35@cus.cam.ac.uk>]

Is it possible from within MacPerl to check a supplied
username/password against the users setup in 'Users and Groups'?

Esentially I want to use the same userid/password pair to validate a
Web form submition as the pair already used to validate Mac 
filesharing and NetPresenz FTP access to the server. And yes, I do 
know that submiting a 'password' form a form is spectacularly 
insecure, but I can't see a better way of doing it.

Jon.
