SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon w/ Auth

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

Is there a way to have authen/author-ization and access control with the Daemon interface? I would rather not use a webserver. I am so surprised there are not any examples of doing this, or any subclasses specifically for it. Thanks

use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
my $daemon = SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon
    -> new (LocalPort => 2112,  
            Reuse => 1)
    -> dispatch_to('Demo');
$daemon->handle;

The SOAP::Transport::HTTP class provides 2 authentication methods: ssl and cookie-based.

Those are LWP request methods are they not? (eg the client side) ... how do you see this working on the Auth side for the ::Daemon?
