OK,=20
I think David Leonard can answer the question what is supported by VAS.

But another point:
My idea was to make GSSAPI.pm implementaion-independent (Means regardless o=
f=20
which implementation is used - it's transparent from the Perl-users point o=
f=20
view).

But the patch makes GSSAPI dependent to Authen::Krb5.
And Authen::Krb5 depends to MIT Kerberos (and has no Heimdal support).

=46rom my point of view that breaks the implementation-independency.

Is my thinking wrong?

Thank you,
