When you have everything working, and something for security (htaccess), try
redirecting by, NOT
printing a content-type (text/html or whatever), then print this:
print "Location: http://www.domain.com/path/morepath/file.html\n\n";;
The capitalization and space are very important.

Maybe I'm wrong here, I'm just quickly reading the code,
but I don't think this approach gives you any REAL password
protection.
If you do the password check as you describe in your code,
then redirect to a unprotected page, such as
http://mygoodpassword.html
what is to stop someone from bypassing your login page
and entering the destination page directly in thier browser?
You need to either .htaccess protect your destination page,
which makes your logon form a waste of time, or you need
to output your html from the cgi-script that does the password
checking.
