How about:

*: [perl arg="config" interpolate=1]
        my $admin_user   = $Safe{config}{RemoteUser};
        my $current_user = q{[data session user]};
        return 1 if $admin_user eq $current_user;
        return 0;
    [/perl]

Then if the current user equals the RemoteUser directive, it will
allow access.

Another possibility is to use the simple acl method, or other database-based
setting which allows access to certain pages.

    Here is the MV4 equivalent to show easier embedding:

        *: [perl] return $Config->{RemoteUser} eq $Session->{user}; [/perl]

    Also, I have heeded the ASP requests with:

        [mvasp]

            <H1> See if you are the admin user:
				<%
					$yesno = $Config->{RemoteUser} eq $Session->{user} ? 'Yes' : 'No'
					$Document->write($yesno);
				%>

            </H1>

    A trailing [/mvasp] is optional if you are using ASP-style for the whole
    page.
