[Catalyst] Unable to output anything in Root.pm -> 'auto'

[Lukas Thiemeier]

Hey Craig,

I got it. You want to store your credentials in a database, but you
don't want to use DBIx::Class?

What about Catalyst::Authentication::Storage::DBI?

If this doesn't help, you might me right. Maybe you have to write your
own authentication module. In that case, consider making it a
Catalyst::Authentication::Store module, and publish it on cpan. It might
be useful for others, too...

By the way: Catalyst::Model::DBI is a ORM-less, raw DBI model for
catalyst. So "... whenever I look at how it implements anything to do
with DB access, it forces ORM upon you ..." is not correct. There are
very few things which are really forced by catalyst. Using DBIx::Class
is just considered "good practice". A lot of people use it, thats why it
is used in most tutorials and examples.
