Start with http://cpansearch.perl.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10006/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Authentication/Internals.pod

I'm actually not sure if PostgreSQL and IMAP are stores or

Also, both stores and credentials should no longer be Plugins, but  
live under Catalyst::Authentication::Store and  
Catalyst::Authentication::Credential
