*** Yes, I found the example, and coded my stuff up with four DBI drivers.
It seemed quite straightforward. Haven't tried it yet though.

*** I am going to use my own authorization stuff. It's there, it works
well. I already have something like 50 different permissions. I even have
a command line driven utility for adding permissions - it modifies the
database and the perl code.
As for not remembering which driver authenticated - I'm looking at the
source of CAP:Auth to see about adding it. I would add an individual name
to each driver, passed at setup(), a variable to hold it, and a method
to get it. Plus something in my application to yell out if I should
inadvertently upgrade CAP::Auth from my modified version to a new improved
main line one without the feature :).
