Re: error when using Authentication::Store::Minimal
[In reply to]
|

I found my own answer by looking at the source code for the MVC plugin.
So much for the book.
The login method expects two strings: a username and a password. Kudos
to the author who also made the method able to detect a username and
password based on best-guess, common sense logic of what they MIGHT be
based on the $c->request form parameter input. Sadly, this was still no
match for the misinformation I was up against. The login method doesn't
want a hashref at all, as we observe here in the source:
