Do you understand this err msg? M::P::A::U is trying to require the
class representing your user. Ibudb::User is what it thinks it is.
It is either not in your path or you have a typo in the name, I' m

Note also that the above code allows any user to do everything. You
do not call authorize. See M::P::A docs for how to set up roles and
