 We could have placed this configuration in C<myapp.conf>, but placing 
 it in C<lib/MyApp.pm> is probably a better place since it's not likely

+deployment (or you could use a mixture: leave C<class> and 
+C<user_model> defined in C<lib/MyApp.pm> as we show above, but place 
+C<password_type> in C<myapp.conf> to allow the type of password to be
