This module covers authentication, authorization and other user management:

https://metacpan.org/pod/Web::Authenticate

It does not include password recovery, but it could be easily implemented with this module.

    Password recovery means passwords are stored in a readable fashion and this is a worst practice, so it’s just as well it doesn’t do it. :P

      The "uninitiated" might also call a proper temporary one-time access token which enables you to change your password, "password recovery".

        …Grumble…for the illiterate, maybe. Recovery means just that. Reset is something else. I understand your point but we are professionals and must be held to a proper standard. This isn’t PHPmonks, for the love of cross-eyed Saint Sebastian!
