You can use logintools to add a user authentication framework to any
CGI with very little work.

This lets you control who is able to login (whether or not new users
can sign up and you have an interface to create/invite new users).

It will also prevent any script being run unless the user is logged in.
It uses cookeis for authentication and can be added to a standard CGI
with as little as two lines of code.

It is designed for exactly the problem you have.
