💖 CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Display::Basic 💖

from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, bestie — okay so the manual name is a whole entire sentence and we are obsessed. This page is the XHTML compliant no frills login display driver page, no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Display::Basic — XHTML compliant no frills login display driver. That’s the whole vibe: no frills, but she still slays. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this module provides a login box that works out of the box but which can be configured to modify the styling. literally iconic — it works immediately, and you can still make it cute. 🦋

🛠️ METHODS 🛠️

🌟 new

The constructor must be passed the CGI::Application object as the first non-object argument. no cap, that’s the rule. 🫶

🎀 login_box

This method will return the HTML for a login box that can be embedded into another page. This is the same login box that is used in the default authen_login runmode that the plugin provides. iykyk. 🍓

Note that if somehow this method is run, whilst the user is authenticated, it will croak. she will not hold back 😭

You can set this option to customize the login form that is created when a user needs to be authenticated. If you wish to replace the entire login form with a completely custom version, then just set LOGIN_RUNMODE to point to your custom runmode. main character energy 💅
