Strange. It doesn't print Yay. However, perl -e 'use
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::Password' also doesn't
complain, so it is there.

This is also strange. Including the following line after __PACKAGE__->setup:

tutorial->log->debug(Dumper(@ISA));

causes the test server not to start with the following error:

Variable "@ISA" is not imported at
/home/peter/public_html/tutorial/script/../lib/tutorial.pm line 42.
Global symbol "@ISA" requires explicit package name at
/home/peter/public_html/tutorial/script/../lib/tutorial.pm line 42.

At this point, tutorial->can("login") also fails of course. Thanks.
