There's nothing that says you have to use perl-based authorization
just because you're using mod_perl. Doing it the simple apache way --
with htpasswd files -- would also be fine (and ez to setup):
<Location /padm>
AuthName "My Auth"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/home/httpd/myapp/auth"
require valid-user
</Location>
The file /home/httpd/myapp/auth is administered with the 'htpasswd'
binary distributed with Apache. The Apache website has more info,
examples, etc.
