[Catalyst] "Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication uses NEXT, which is deprecated."

[will at serensoft.com]

Thanks for your patience, Tom Sahib. :)

We've been getting up to speed via the (Packt Publishing) book "Catalyst:
Accelerating Perl Web Application Development" by Jonathan Rockway, using
the paradigm introduced on p74. That's where we went astray:

use Catalyst qw/ConfigLoader Static::Simple
    Session Session::State::Cookie Session::Store::DBIC
    Authentication
        Authentication::Store::DBIC
        Authentication::Credential::Password
            Authorization::Roles
            Authorization::ACL/;

We'd lost track of the config portion:

<authentication>
    default_realm =3D members
    <realms>
        <members>
            <credential>
                ...
            </credential>
            <store>
                class =3D DBIx::Class
                ...
            </store>
        </members>
    </realms>
</authentication>

Feeling much better now. Thanks!
