Get_iplayer is streaming live TV!

[d.lake at surrey.ac.uk]

Correct, but that is not how the cgi script runs.  It is not a regular Apache/HTTPD cgi-bin

It runs as a Daemon.  It doesn't read from a directory so it won't pick up any htaccess/htpassword.

I think I need to put a password module into the cgi script.

I don't understand the problem.

As explained at the url I gave...

A typical .htaccess file looks like the following:

AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My restricted Area"
Require valid-user

Then your .htpasswd is placed at the location referenced above.
