I'm installing a new PERL program with a serious security problem.
I "wrote" myself a .htaccess file that redirects people that "are lost" or using a wrong URL to this program (prevent showing them a list of files etc.). No problem so far.
But I can not prevent people (that know the program and his files) to type the exact URL to a file in one of the directories of the program (and thus read confidential data).
How can I prevent direct access to these files WITHOUT affecting the proper working of this program?

How about adding a password protection to the start of those secret files?
