This module 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.

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.
