saving userid

["Malka Cymbalista" <suppressed>]

I am running Apache 2.0.55 with mod_perl 2.0.1 and Perl 5.8.1 on a Sun Solaris machine. I am writing a perl script that requires the user to log in with a userid and password in order to access the pages the script creates. We plan on using standard http authentication. Once the user logs in, is there a way to save the userid and check it to make sure that the user who is now working is the same user who logged in?  The problem is that users will be entering data and a user can only change the data he has entered.

Thanks for any help.
