Here's one way:
You can use https and cookies. That is, have all your pages check whether the username/password cookies are set; if they are, verify them (e.g., against a database); if they authenticate, carry on; if not, redirect to a login page where you prompt them for authentication credentials. Here, you set their cookies if and when they log in successfully. CGI.pm has some convenient cookie-handling methods. HTH.
