Possibly Jason has answered your question, I think this is how most sites
use a web form for authentication. However, I once wanted to have
basic_auth (where entire directories were protected automatically using the
basic_auth mechanisms built into Apache) but using a CGI (to make it easier
to glue my application to customer's websites). This would be similar to
what you are asking, I think. Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible
to do (although, possibly, you might be able to use mod_perl to tickle
Apache's API).
