[Catalyst] Require User Logins in Manual::Cookbook

I've tried following the 'require user logins' section of the  
Catalyst::Manual::Cookbook but I have a feeling it is out of date and  
broken. In particular,the call to  '$c->session_login(..., ...)"  
causes an error.  I suspect it might not have been updated for the  
most recent version of the authentication framework.

Since there is no other documentation around on how to achieve the  
same functionality, I'm sending out a general plea for someone who  
knows how to achieve it to update the cookbook documentation, and/or  
post some instructions to this list.

I've tried to make it work myself but although I can get a user  
logged in and redirected, I don't seem to be able to carry the login  
over multiple sessions. So when I submit the login form, and the log  
tells me that the user has successfully been authenticated, all that  
happens in practice is that I get the login form returned to me  
again. (I've been redirected, during the request for the page it's  
been noticed that I'm not logged in, and so I'm redirected to the  
login form again.)

Thanks in advance
