You don't need that, read this:
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class#Simple_Retrieval

    if ($c->authenticate({  
                          username => $c->req->params->{'username'},
                          password => $c->req->params->{'password'},
                          status => [ 'registered', 'active', 'loggedin']
                         })) {

These name => value pairs are used more or less directly in the DBIx::Class' 
search() routine, so in most cases, you can use DBIx::Class syntax to retrieve 
the user according to whatever rules you have.

Basically you pass whatever hashref you need to $c->authenticate. The 
password_field is necessary because of the possible changes done by 
Credential::Password .
