I also found something broken with Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication.
If, instead of how I do it above, I specify the C::P::A::Store::DBIC
first in MyApp.pm:

use Catalyst qw/
    -Debug
    ConfigLoader
    Static::Simple
    StackTrace
    Authentication
    Authentication::Store::DBIC
    Authentication::Store::LDAP
    Authentication::Credential::Password
    Authorization::Roles
    Authorization::ACL
    Session
    Session::Store::FastMmap
    Session::State::Cookie
/;

Then the application will not run and I get the error:

You must provide a user_class at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Catalyst.pm line 880
Compilation failed in require at web/script/mimas_web_server.pl line 53.

But I do have user_class defined for DBIC in myapp.yml.
