Prat824 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks I have built a CGI::Application currently running on local host and have used 2 authentication methods -
1. descried in http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=622071 by storing user password in database and
2. using LDAP credentials.

I was looking for a simple way to do google authentication but haven't found an easy way yet. Can someone point me in the right direction.

I looked at
1. Authen-GoogleAccount and
2. net-Google-FederatedLogin

but not enough documentation for either of these. Where do i start? Please let me know even if you have some pointer to doing this outside of cgi::application

    What credentials do you want to use to perform the authentication? If you are using OpenID, it seems like (2) is pretty straightforward (ie FederatedLogin).
