Thank you very much! That's exactly what I need to make it work. It pays to
think outside the box, sometimes.
On another note: Because I need separate authentication for administrative
users and other users, I am using the "alpha"
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication module because it supports realms. It took
me some time to wrap my mind around the new concepts employed by this
update of the module, but once I did, everything worked splendidly.
What is probably going to be most confusing for people who first use the
new Authentication plugin is that many of the configuration variable names
are now application specific. That threw me for a loop for a little while.
A big thank you to the catalyst list for being so helpful!
