Thanks for everyone's help. I found th OSAX at:

  ftp://mirror.apple.com/mirrors/gaea.scriptweb.com/
                  applescript/osaxen/usersandgroups1.2b.cpt.hqx

and it works a treat from MacPerl:

  $xxx = &MacPerl'DoAppleScript(<<"EndScript");
  return (authenticate user name "jon" password "xxx")
  EndScript

  if ($xxx eq 'true')
  { print "OK\n";
  }
  else
  { print "Nogo\n";
  }

Jon.
