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. |
