In Unix I can use .htaccess to protect directory and including wwww-files. I think I can`t do the same on a MacServer?, I have to use a perl-script, I can use a password in a script to access a specific file, but I have to check the the password every time the user want to aceess the directory. Is it possible to make a login by a perl script? I mean check the permission once only like .htaccess in Unix Maybe this list is wrong topic for this Claes Bjorklund ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
