NAME

       CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store - Base module for building storage classes
       for the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication plugin

SYNOPSIS

        package CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store::MyStore;
        use base qw(CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store);

         sub fetch {
             my $self   = shift;
             my @params = @_;
             ...
         }

         sub save {
             my $self   = shift;
             my %params = @_;
             ...
         }

         sub delete {
             my $self   = shift;
             my @params = @_;
             ...
         }

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a base class for all storage classes for the
       CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication plugin.  Each storage class is required to
       provide three methods that fetch, save and delete data from the store.  The information
       that is saved will be text based, so there is no need to flatten any of the data that is
       to be stored.

METHODS TO OVERRIDE

       The following three (and one optional) methods should be provided by the subclass.

   fetch
       This method accepts a list of parameters and will return a list of values from the store
       matching those parameters.

   save
       This method accepts a hash of parameters and values and will save those parameters in the
       store.

   delete
       This method accepts a list of parameters and will delete those parameters from the store.

   clear
       A call to this method will remove all information about the current user out of the store
       (should be provided by the subclass, but is not required to be).

OTHER METHODS

       The following methods are also provided by the
       CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store base class.

   new
       This is a constructor that can create a new Store object.  It requires an Authentication
       object as its first parameter, and any number of other parameters that will be used as
       options depending on which Store object is being created.  You shouldn't need to call this
       as the Authentication plugin takes care of creating Store objects.

   initialize
       This method will be called right after a new Store object is created.  So any startup
       customizations can be dealt with here.

   options
       This will return a list of options that were provided when this store was configured by
       the user.

   authen
       This will return the underlying CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication object.  In most
       cases it will not be necessary to access this.
