Guys, thank you for your replies!

using .htaccess from the command line:

bash-2.03# /usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd /path/to/auth/file/auth_file username
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user username

How would I do this using that module? From what I can see there doesn't seem to be anything that adds usernames. How do I do that?

# does this line mean the path to .htaccess file is passed to the constructor?
# how does it know which auth file to use?
my $obj = Apache::Htaccess->new($path_to_htaccess);

Cheers for any more tips you can share.

Graeme :)

Afternoon all, I was thinking about writing a perl script which would add users to an .htaccess file.

How would I invoke htpasswd from a perl script? I'm thinking I'll need to use the system command.

system or backticks or qx() but you'd probably be better off with a Module:
