HTTP_Auth_Basic generates an entry to cut and paste into a .htpasswd file

It can be used by those who do not have access to, or are not comfortable using the command line program 'htpasswd' to create .htpasswd entries.

Just fill in the form and a properly encoded .htpasswd entry will be returned.

HTTP_Auth_Basic is a Perl module (HTTP_Auth_Basic.pm) that is designed for use with mod_perl under Apache, although it also works as a CGI program under any web server (that supports Perl CGI programs).
