asynchronous authentication - perl/authcookie

[_spitFIRE]

Hi All,
I would like to know if it is possible to implement Ajax style
authentication with perl/authcookie? Would somebody be able to give me a
pointer as to how to say start writing one? I'm using Apache-AuthCookie
3.10/Apache 1.3.37/ mod_perl 1.30. The test implementation provided with
the package shows a simple authentication. However, in that example,
whenever the user types a wrong password, the entire page refreshes! I
would like to avoid that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using an Ajax library?

How you write this code on the front-end has very little to do with
how the Perl part of this works. Just a URL and some parameters are
sent to the server just as though the submission was a regular form
POST.
