Perl-Based Authentication...

[Brad W. Galiette]

Thank you for your response!

While it *appears* that the module is compiling properly, the following
error is produced when I attempt to include the module in a script (the
script consists only of a "use" directive with the qualified module name):

Can't load
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/auto/Authen/Krb5/Krb
5.so' for module Authen::Krb5:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/a
uto/Authen/Krb5/Krb5.so: undefined symbol: __res_search at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/
5.8.0/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
 at test_auth.pl line 4
Compilation failed in require at test_auth.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test_auth.pl line 4.

If you are not familiar with how to correct this, do you suppose you would
be able to supply me with a binary for Authen::Krb5?

Once again, thank you for your consideration!
