What is an htaccess prompt?
One of the many features of Htaccess password protection. Allowing you to password protect any directory on your system, restricting access to only users you specify. What does an htaccess password prompt look like? 
What are the benefits of using htaccess vs. authentification via a perl script? Htaccess offers security, where as the only way to break through an htaccess prompt is by using a brute force program to keep trying to login, using a dictionary file as reference. If you use a perl script to authenticate users, you have the ability to leave open security holes, allowing users to take there knowledge of perl and use it to their advantage. Exploiting any programming flaws you may have created. It basically removes one more headache when creating a secure application :)
