in reply to CGI::Builder & DBIx::UserDB together?

I don't have an answer to your question, but... since you mentioned not wanting to reinvent wheels, there's a lot of work on authentication going on with the Catalyst project. eg:

Catalyst Autentication
Catalyst Authorization

So if you are still scouting around for a framework and haven't invested too much in CGI application you could check out the catalyst bandwagon.

I think CGI application may also have its own newsgroup, and maybe irc channel as well, so you might try there as well if you're committed to CGI::A.

(Disclaimer: Cat is hard to set up, one reason I'm still merely sniffing the kool aid and haven't gone into full-on evangelist mode. Setup is being worked on, though, and gradually getting easier.)

    With regards to setup, user experiences have varied a bit --- it went pretty smoothly for me.

    Yeah CGI::App has an IRC chanel on irc.perl.org server. There is also a mailing list and a support website located here.

    Some modules (plugins for CGI::App) were released recently that handle Authorization and Authentification ... check the website and CPAN.
