You can use a framework:

     http://www.google.com/search?q=perl+web+framework


You can roll your own:

- Perhaps a mod_perl authentication handler?

     http://perl.apache.org/

- Perhaps a CGI script that provides a login form, provides an 
authentication cookie, and controls access to resources?

     http://perldoc.perl.org/CGI.html

     http://search.cpan.org/search?query=htpasswd&mode=all

     http://search.cpan.org/search?query=cgi+authentication&mode=all


And, I'm sure there's other options -- TIMTOWTDI.  :-)


HTH,
