In most cases Apache basic auth passwords are set by the htpasswd command that should be available in the Apache source. In order to use this from a perl script you might have to set the SUID bit of htpasswd and make it owned by the Apache user. By writing a small script to take password information and making the appropriate call to htpasswd you should achieve your goal. As always, it's recommended to use SSL when doing something like this.
