Cataly...::User(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::User — bestie, it's literally just a compatibility shim 🫶

So real talk: this page comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, and it's the Cataly...::User(3pm) one you were looking for. Sit down, it's a short one 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

OK so first thing, and I need you to hear me on this one:

THIS IS A COMPATIBILITY SHIM. 🚨

Like, that's the whole personality. It exists so that old configurations of Catalyst Authentication keep working without code changes. No rewrites, no refactors, no "oops my app broke" moment — it just quietly does its thing so your legacy setup still vibes. 🎀

And now the part where I hold your hand and look you dead in the eye:

DO NOT USE IT IN ANY NEW CODE! 😭💀 fr fr, not even a little bit. Not in a side project. Not "just this once." If you're starting fresh, this is not the move. It's giving "museum exhibit," not "main character energy." 👑

Want the actual, current, non-shim situation? Please see Catalyst::Authentication::User for more information — that's your girl, that's the one you want. 🦋✨

And that's the tea, bestie 🍓 — this little page is Perl v5.40.1 energy, dated 2026-05-22, so if you ever forget when this shim lore dropped, now you know 💜 slay, stay off deprecated code, periodt 🌸
