Hi,

I want to get the value for users once authenticated by apache with the
digest method in perl.
The directory the webpage belongs to is password protected and requires a
valid user
created with htpasswd2. The webserver is apache2 with mod_perl-1.29

The environment variable REMOTE_USER hasn't any value, so may there are any
other
recommendations on how to identify users easyly with perl ?


TIA,
Jrk.

Try

use CGI;
my $query = new CGI;
my $user = $query->remote_user();

Since you're using mod_perl -

my $user = Apache->request()->connection()->user();

Or, as another posted mentioned, if you're using CGI.pm you could use its
remote_user() method.
