NAME
       Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI - GSSAPI (Kerberosv5) Authentication class
SYNOPSIS
         use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);
         $sasl = Authen::SASL->new( mechanism => 'GSSAPI' );
         $sasl->client_start( $service, $host );
DESCRIPTION
       This method implements the client part of the GSSAPI SASL algorithm.
       With a valid Kerberos 5 credentials cache (aka TGT) it allows to con-
       nect to service@host given as the first two parameters to
       Authen::SASL's client_start() method.
       Please note that this module does not currently implement a SASL secu-
       rity layer following authentication. Unless the connection is protected
       by other means, such as TLS, it will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle
       attacks. If security layers are required, then the Authen::SASL::Cyrus
       GSSAPI module should be used instead.
       CALLBACK
