This module gives access to the routines of the GSSAPI library,
as described in rfc2743 and rfc2744 and implemented by the
Kerberos-1.2 distribution from MIT.

Since 0.14 it also compiles and works with Heimdal.
Lacks of Heimdal support are gss_release_oid(),
gss_str_to_oid() and fail of some tests.
Have a look at the tests in t/ directory too see what tests
fail on Heimdal ( the *.t tests are just skipping them at the moment)

The API presented by this module is a mildly object oriented
reinterpretation of the C API, where opaque C structures are
Perl objects, but the style of function call has been left
mostly untouched.  As a result, most routines modify one or
more of the parameters passed to them, reflecting the C
call-by-reference (or call-by-value-return) semantics.

All users of this module are therefore strongly advised to
localize all usage of these routines to minimize pain if and
when the API changes.
