ABSTRACT

WWW::Authen::Simple provides another way to do cookie based sessions and authentication. It's goal is to provide a very simple API to handle sessions and authentication.

The database layout has been abstracted, so you should be able to fit this into whatever database layout you currently use, or use the provided default to base your application.

NOTE: the database abstraction is configured by a hash. If changes to it's structure are needed, you currently have to rebuild the entire hash, and pass it in (ie. there is no API to make it easy to change yet).
