In most cases Apache basic auth passwords are set by the htpasswd command
that should be available in the Apache source. In order to use this from a
perl script you might have to set the SUID bit of htpasswd and make it owned
by the Apache user. By writing a small script to take password information
and making the appropriate call to htpasswd you should achieve your goal. As
always, it's recommended to use SSL when doing something like this.

Hope that helps
