That makes sense... it should go ahead and carp if it fails on the  
initial bind (for the user lookup phase).  If it's doing a bind for  
authentication, it should just fail.  I'll see if I can't get that  
put in there in the next couple of days.

I'm not totally clear on whether there is a way to catch  
Catalyst::Exception's.  It seems like that would be the way to go..

try {
	$c->login($username, $password);
} catch {
...deal with stuff..
}
