Gives access to the routines of the GSSAPI library, as described in rfc2743 and rfc2744 and implemented by the Kerberos-1.2 distribution from MIT. Since 0.14 it also compiles and works with Heimdal. Lacks of Heimdal support are gss_release_oid(), gss_str_to_oid() and fail of some tests. The API presented by this module is a mildly object oriented reinterpretation of the C API, where opaque C structures are Perl objects, but the style of function call has been left mostly untouched. As a result, most routines modify one or more of the parameters passed to them, reflecting the C call-by-reference (or call-by-value-return) semantics. All users of this module are therefore strongly advised to localize all usage of these routines to minimize pain if and when the API changes.
