I can certainly do that. The reason I raised the question is that Auth Extensible is a reasonably well known and, I assume, widely used extension. I find all sorts of references to using it, including basic tutorials to implement it, etc. I can't find any reference on CPAN or from just scouring the web to it missing key functions like that. Searching for the specific error turns up nothing. Since none of the various providers seem to include that function, my first assumption was that I needed to install another plugin which provided the functionality but I've turned up nothing in that regard either. It strikes me as odd that a well-known module would be that incomplete with no mention of it. I'm more of a perl blunderer with aspirations than a true perl hacker, so I posted here to make sure I wasn't missing something before submitting a bug report for a non-existent bug.
