Well you can use open(), or if the file size isn't extremely huge
The File::Slurp Module is nice,
But you may also want to look into using the DBI Module and storiing your data
In a mysql database (or other db for that matter).
As far as the password goes it depends on how you implememt it,
You could store it along with the data somehow and check it in the script or
Use your webserver's auth methods like htaccess to verify them and then
Only let $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} manage their own data.
