So far I've added to libcatalyst-modules-perl new auth-session modules,
and I want to remove from next release (0.9 I think)
Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication:CDBI because is obsoleted. Now 0.8
version (which is not uploaded because of missing dependencies) contains:

 - Catalyst:Helper:Controller:Scaffold: Helper for Scaffolding.
 - Catalyst:Model:CDBI:CRUD: CRUD CDBI Model Class
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication: Infrastructure plugin for the
Catalyst authentication framework.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication:CDBI: CDBI Authentication for Catalyst
OBSOLETED! Please use Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication:Store:DBIC instead.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication:Store:DBIC: A user object representing
an entry in a database.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Authorization:ACL: ACL support for Catalyst applications.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Authorization:Roles: Role based authorization for
Catalyst based on Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:FormValidator:Simple: Validator for Catalyst with
 FormValidator::Simple
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Prototype: Some stuff to make Prototype fun.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Session: Generic Session plugin, ties together server
side storage and client side state required to maintain session data.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Session:State:Cookie: Maintain session IDs using cookies.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Session:Store:DBI: Store your sessions in a database.
 DBI Interface
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Session:Store:FastMmap: FastMmap session storage backend.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:Session:Store:File: File storage backend for session
data.
 - Catalyst:Plugin:StackTrace: Display a stack trace on the debug screen
 - Catalyst:Plugin:SubRequest: Make subrequests to actions in Catalyst


I want to add Catalyst::Plugin::HTML::Widget there (when HTML::Widget
hits unstable). I want to rewrite building process to make it more
sofisticated (I mean for example
Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication:Store:DBIC is depend from
Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication so Catalyst:Plugin:Authentication should
be installed first).

I am thinking about packaging Test-WWW-Mechanize (and
Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst) and some DBIx::Class stuff
(DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader for example) but this is for future.

Good idea.
