Authen-Credential This module offers an abstraction of a credential, i.e. something that can be used to authenticate. It allows the creation and manipulation of credentials. In particular, it defines a standard string representation (so that credentials can be given to external programs as command line options), a standard structured representation (so that credentials can be stored in structured configuration files or using JSON) and "preparators" that can transform credentials into ready-to-use data for well known targets. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Authen::Credential perldoc Authen::Credential::none perldoc Authen::Credential::plain perldoc Authen::Credential::x509 LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2011 CERN This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of either: the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; or the Artistic License.
