Re: New module - (session/authentication) seeking a name
mine is AIS::client which I can rename to match the others if you come up with a good name. I have not tested AIS::client with mp and presume it is broken there. Turning www::authen::simple into an AIS client would allow you to centralize your authentication. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know you, junk mail. Gonna miss you when you're gone

It would be much nicer if it was readable as a nntp or at least a mailing list; I've always found http-based discussion boardss awkward to navigate and difficult to figure out what I have and haven't read. Wonder why this hasn't been done? Randy.

I like to use 'snownews' in a terminal. Also, you can the voting feature to help keep track of what yo've read. Just vote everything you read up or down. :) Admittedly, that strategy works best once you've been there a while and have lots of votes to use. Mark -- http://mark.stosberg.com/

I have not tested AIS::client with mp and presume it is broken there. Turning www::authen::simple into an AIS client would allow you to centralize your authentication. I hadn't heard of AIS before. Sounds like it would make a nice additional authentication method. Part of my TODO is to abstract both the authentication and storage methods. I should be able to add this auth method after that (though, it doesn't offer any group based permissions, so that would still need handled locally). I looked over AIS::client... there are a lot of exit statements in there, and a lot of hardcoded HTML. It'd be nice if allowed the user of the module to handle those parts, and just supplied the information it would need (the full URL of the AIS server when needed, etc), just a thought. And if it returned some failure condition, it wouldn't have to exit(), and could allow the client to handle those errors. It might be a while before I get the authentication and storage methods abstracted (shouldn't be all that difficult, but it's not on the top of my TODO list right now). When I do, I'll definately look into AIS, and see if I can find similar resources out there. Thanks for the info, I don't think I would have found that without your link. -- Josh I.
