  No.

 Are there any code snippets and an advice on how to call during the auth

You actually could use PHP for your external program fired by
Exec-Program-Wait. PHP can be compiled as a standalone binary, with the
newer versions fully supporting command line operation (just like perl). You
simply have a '#!/usr/local/bin/php' as your magic escape string in your
scripts.

However, keep in mind that PHP probably has a much larger overhead/startup
cost than something nice like a native binary (or possibly even perl) - I
haven't done much testing.

I actually use PHP rather extensively for full standalone command
line/daemon type scripting, just for the re-usability of common classes that
I can develop for both web + other use.

(sorry, got slightly off-topic at the end there)
