=head1 DESCRIPTION

CGI::AuthRegister is a Perl module for CGI user authentication and
registration.  It is created with objective to be simple, flexible,
and transparent.  For the sake of simplicity, it is not completely
portable, but mostly designed for Linux environment.  As an example,
it relies on a directly calling sendmail for sending email messages.

Example 1, included in the distribution, and shown above, illustrates
the main functionalities of the module in one CGI file.  The module is
designed with the assumption that the CGI programs run with user uid.

If LoginScript (or default index.cgi) is the same as the current script
(which would cause an infinite-loop behaviour), a simple error page is
printed.  If give, the back argument (BackScript) is passed to LoginScript
as a `goto' parameter.  LoginScript is supposed to use this parameter to
redirect back to this page after a successful login.

These are some of the current implementation:
