Although I do not have pointers handy I'm sure there are a few perl modules
dealing with general protection for CGI. I think to remember one of them
transparently implement 'tcpwrapper like' protection scheme. I'd start to
look at the mod_perl home page and in CPAN. This would allow you to forget
security issues. As long as one can restrict usage to a specific set of
IP adresses or protect with password, that's ok.
