in reply to RFC: How Tightly Coupled To Perl Must We Be?
I'm not sure what your question is aiming at.
To my knowledge, mod_auth_openid is not a Perl module. The naming convention suggests that it is an Apache module.
The linked github repository also has no indication that mod_auth_openid is written in Perl, or closely related to Perl.
So, therefore my question:
Where does Perl come into the picture?
If the code in question is a Perl module, that explains where Perl comes into the picture. If it is not Perl code, the poster needs to explain where Perl connects to his problem.
