The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: CGI::Htauth
DSLIP: adhfp
description: Authentication and encryption for http

rationale:
CGI::Htauth offers a variety of authentication mechanisms to the
CGI programmer. The main subroutine is &authenticate($config)
$config can be either a string or a filename, and looks a bit like a
simple router configuration, with different authentication modes to
be offered to different IP addresses or ranges. Possible modes
include allow, deny, password and challenge-response. CGI::Htauth
uses Crypt::Tea, CGI::FormBuilder and CGI.pm. From a JavaScript
browser, The user is authenticated by encrypting a random challenge,
so the password is never transmitted, and subsequent traffic in both
directions is encrypted. Timeouts are handled and there are built-in
buttons for logout and password changing. Originally CGI::Htauth
used a module of mine called CGI::Htui (analagous to Term::Clui) to
handle the forms, but over the last couple of months I have ported
it to the already-existing CGI::FormBuilder which provides similar
functionality.
