[Catalyst] Can't locate Catalyst/Plugin/Authentication/Store/DBIC.pm

[Jay K]

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately the Tutorial is a bit out of date.

Please look at this:

http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Authentication.pm

and this:

http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBIx-Class/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Store/DBIx/Class.pm

and your issues should be cleared up.

Jay
