[Catalyst] Maintenance release: C::P::Authentication

[marcus baker]

Is it possible that the latest C::P::Authentication updates are also
affecting Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class?  Using the
recent modules (including Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10002 which I'm
assuming is this maintenance release) I'm continuing to get the following
error when I try running the authenticate() method, passing in a username
and password in a hashref:

Caught exception in (App)::Controller::Root->login "Can't use string
("(App)::Model::DBIC::User") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Class/Accessor/Grouped.pm line 251."

(App) being my application's package name, and my authentication /
authorization configuration as follows:

                     authentication =3D> {
                         default_realm =3D> 'users',
                         realms =3D> {
                             users =3D> {
                                 credential =3D> {
                                     class =3D> 'Password',
                                     password_field =3D> 'password',
                                     password_type =3D> 'hashed',
                                     password_hash_type =3D> 'SHA-1',
                                 },
                                 store =3D> {
                                     class =3D> 'DBIx::Class',
                                     user_field =3D> 'username',
                                     user_class =3D> 'DBIC::User',
                                     role_relation =3D> 'user_roles',
                                     role_field =3D> 'role'
                                 },
                             },
                         },
                     },
                      authorization =3D> {
                         dbic =3D> {
                             role_class =3D> 'DBIC::Role',
                             role_field =3D> 'role',
                             role_rel =3D> 'user_roles',
                             user_role_user_field =3D> 'user',
                        }
                     },

The related plugins loaded are:  Authentication (0.10002),
Authentication::Credential::Password (?), Authorization::Roles (0.05), and
Authorization::ACL (0.08)

Class::Accessor::Grouped (0.07000)
DBIx::Class (0.08003)

Thanks
