This the way BASIC Authentication works. To solve your problem (cleanly),
you'll need to use your own custom authentication mechanism. This is not
as hard as it sound.
Take a look at Apache::AuthCookie for an example (quite likely it is exactly
what you are looking for....)
Or read chapter 13.7 "Writing your own authentication mechanism" in the
mod_perl Cookbook.
