This doesn't appear to be the problem in this case.

The htpassword file actually has two lines as follows:
admin:cgwvsHpJSf6XU
test:cgsk91HyOZHGE

followed by two empty lines (carriage returns).
I copied the admin line from etc/passwd and checked the password encryption
with the perl script.
Authorisation fails for both admin and test logins.
