authentication with perl

melezhik has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all!

I am building a web application with the authentication capabilities. So not to reinvent the wheel, I am almost sure there are good, proven solutions for such a task. My general requirements:

- login for existed user ( sign in )
- create user account ( sign up )
- send email notification ( on sign up action )
- reset user password on request ( based on email notification )
- captures ( to protect form bots ) - not that necessary, but
- ability to store password in encrypted form ( probably could do it, but just in case )

---

- Any ideas? openID is also welcome, but I probably need more simple solutions with minimal low level coding, efforts

- Thanks in advance

Which framework? A recent article on perltricks.com drafted the process using Mojolicious: How to send verification emails using Mojolicous? Perhaps this works as a starting point? Seems, that you need to code the desired live cycle yourself with the help of some proven modules from CPAN, though.	[reply]

Please don't store the passwords, even if encrypted. Do a little research on storing a hash of passwords, and the web will be a better place.	[reply]
