Summary     : OAuth protocol support library for Perl
Description :
Perl implementation of OAuth, an open protocol to allow secure API
authentication in a simple and standard method from desktop and web
applications. In practical terms, a mechanism for a Consumer to request
protected resources from a Service Provider on behalf of a user.

Update Information:

A session fixation vulnerability was discovered in OAuth protocol 1.0. Perl
OAuth bindings were updated to support the new version of the OAauth protocol
that was issued to address the vulnerability.    All OAuth users are strongly
advised to update to this updated package and protocol version 1.0a which fixes
the vulnerability.    Upstream advisory: http://oauth.net/advisories/2009-1
