Sorry, I seem to have omitted that important detail:

Authen::Simple and co are there to make it easy for you to add authentication to your perl code. So, if you want to authenticate users against an LDAP server? There's Authen::Simple::LDAP. How about an active directory server? Authen::Simple::ActiveDirectory. I'm building a catalyst app that will authenticate against an IMAP server. Hence, Authen::Simple::IMAP. So, I'm not adding authentication to an IMAP service, I'm using an IMAP server as my credential provider.
