[Catalyst-dev] new C::P::A::LDAP for new-style C::P::A

I've create a new version of C::P::A::LDAP to work with the new C::P::A
api more info at a:
http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Authentication.pm 

The new version has run-time configuration of dns and rules, this
allows namespaces that can be configured at login. This functionality
is required by portal like sites that need namespaces for each
client/company. It also has full store functionality so it won't hit
the directory on each successive call to $c->user.

so you can do something like base_dn: dc=%s,dc=%s,ou=clients;o=Company
and resolve that on a call to ->authenticate(
{basedn_values = [ 'foo', 'com'], id => 'username', pw => 'password' }
);

As a last note this version also keeps a config object from login which
mirrors the C::P::A::LDAP config on compile time, but reflects the
modifications made on the call to ->authenticate(), this can be accessed
with $c->user->config and utilized from within a module. Examples of
applications in pod.

I don't have any tests created largely because I don't see any
useful ones that are easily created, but there is documentation in the .tar.gz as 
pody.pod. 

You can find a copy at http://64.200.109.9/LDAP.tar.gz comments welcome.
