Thanks for all of the emails.
I had part of the solution using remote user. This will only work,
however, if the cgi script is located after the directory containing
the .htaccess file. E.g.
/htdocs is the web root
/htdocs/homepages is the start of the actual web pages with the
.htaccess file in it.
/htdocs/homepages/cgi-bin is where my cgi scripts sit which reference
remote_user.
The problem was that my cgi scripts were in /htdocs/cgi-scripts which
was outside of the realm controlled by the htaccess file.
Too many names to mention, but you know who you are.
Once again, many thanks.

Original Question
=============
Dear Sun managers
This may not be the appropriate list, so please forgive me if it is not.
I have just installed Apache 1.3.3 onto my Spar 10 (Solaris 2.6).
I am using .htaccess to control access to the directories.
My problem is this, is there any way to pass the username entered, vi
htaccess, into a perl script.
Simon
P.S. Does anyone know of an apache/perl mail group?
