You would install it as a CGI script, then link to it from the original page. For example, you might want to call it private.cgi and put it in your cgi-bin (and make it executable, of course - chmod 755), then link to it something like this: <A HREF="http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/private.cgi">Private page</A> ...which would then send the browser to either the private page or an error page, depending on the URL of the referring page. I still think this whole thing is totally pointless though, I'd be interested to see how you use it.
