Hello,

From my pint of view the POD of Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI
is missing a codeexample that demonstrates how to use the
Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI module.
I promised to send Code, here is an example that's used 
with Net::LDAP and makes use of the new error() Method.
So the user has a chance to see from ducumentation how to
get helpful errormessages (from the underlying Kerberossystem).

What do you think of adding that codesnippet to the POD
of Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI?

Thank you,
Achim
