Just one more question??
About the perl authenticator, for what I understood it return
an array of 5 arguments, but on that array there is no
reference to the groups I can post only the groups for
reading. Are they the same??
What I need is to return something like:
user: xpto
read: group1 group2 group3 group4
post: group1 group2

Is this possible with the perl auth??

thanks in advance
