So run zypper install thttpd?
Cuz if so, i ran that command and it doesnt work
In what way does it "doesn't work"?
zypper install thttpd
Refreshing service 'spacewalk'.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'thttpd' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'thttpd' found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.
Grrr... Well, as a last resort:

So just create passwd, and insert that program into it?
Put that in htpasswd.pl, chmod +x ./htpasswd.pl , ./htpasswd.pl options and stuff
Its supposed to act like a normal htpasswd supposedly.

What did you mean by the last part?
./htpasswd.pl options and stuff
Dot, then slash, which means 'current directory'. So you are running htpasswd.pl from the current directory.
The 'options and stuff' are the usual options you would expect htpasswd to use.

Alright
So using this guide Authentication and Authorization - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2, instead of running
htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords rbowen
Would I be running :
htpasswd.pl -c /opt/apache2/passwd/passwords rbowen
I really appreciate your help Corona, sorry for asking tons of questions.
No, you would be running:
./htpasswd.pl -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords rbowen
./htpasswd.pl -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords rbowen
./htpasswd.pl: line 1: sswd.pl: command not found
./htpasswd.pl: line 17: use: command not found
./htpasswd.pl: line 18: use: command not found
./htpasswd.pl: line 20: use: command not found
./htpasswd.pl: line 21: use: command not found
./htpasswd.pl: line 23: ::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION: command not found
./htpasswd.pl: line 24: my: command not found
./htpasswd.pl: line 25: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./htpasswd.pl: line 25: `my %opt = ('
Im starting to think this will never work 
What do you have as the very first line of the script?
It needs to be #!/usr/bin/env perl otherwise it will not be run with PERL

argghhhhhhhh !!! I edited the first line to include what you have and ran
/htpasswd.pl -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords rbowen
And i get these messages:
Can't locate Authen/Htpasswd.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at ./htpasswd.pl line 22.

It's not "What I have" by the way, it's exactly like it was in the link.
You need to install perl-Apache-Htpasswd.
zypper install perl-apache2-htpasswd
Refreshing service 'spacewalk'.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Package 'perl-apache2-htpasswd' not found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.
P.S I tried just apache, and tried capitilizing, still the same result.
You may have to install with CPAN. It'd be called Authen:Htpasswd there I think.
Something like 'install Authen:Htpasswd' from the CPAN prompt, once 'cpan' is done asking you questions.
zypper install Authen:htpasswd
Refreshing service 'spacewalk'.

'Authen:htpasswd' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'Authen:htpasswd' found.

Perl has its own installer system, 'cpan'. Run it as root and answer its questions, then 'install Authen:Htpasswd'
hmm what code would i be running?
gentoo ~ # cpan
CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatically.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for each
configuration option instead.
Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes]
Autoconfigured everything but 'urllist'.
Now you need to choose your CPAN mirror sites. You can let me
pick mirrors for you, you can select them from a list or you
can enter them by hand.
Would you like me to automatically choose some CPAN mirror
sites for you? (This means connecting to the Internet) [yes]
Trying to fetch a mirror list from the Internet
Fetching with HTTP::Tiny:
http://www.perl.org/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY
Looking for CPAN mirrors near you (please be patient)
.......................... done!
New urllist
http://mirrors.rit.edu/CPAN/
http://mirror.metrocast.net/cpan/
http://ftp.wayne.edu/CPAN/
Autoconfiguration complete.
commit: wrote '/root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm'
You can re-run configuration any time with 'o conf init' in the CPAN shell
