💖 NAME ✨

Ok so bestie, this is Authen::SASL::Perl::XOAUTH2 — the XOAUTH2 Authentication class. That's the whole name, no cap. 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

It's version 2.2100. Slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here's the vibe — how you actually use it:

  use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

  $sasl = Authen::SASL->new(
    mechanism => 'XOAUTH2',
    callback  => {
      user => $user,
      pass => $access_token
    },
  );

Literally that's it. Copy it, it's iconic. ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So this module implements the client side of the XOAUTH2 SASL mechanism, which is used for OAuth 2.0-based authentication. That's the whole job. It shows up, it does the client side, it leaves. Main character energy fr fr. 💅

🧚 CALLBACK

The callbacks used are — pay attention bestie, there's literally two:

Client

user — The username to be used for authentication. 🫶

pass — The OAuth 2.0 access token to be used for authentication. Lowkey the most important one ngl, it's your token. 🔥
