Heimdal/Kadm5 version 0.08
==========================
The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on
how to install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for
example C compilers and installed libraries) and any other information
that should be provided before the module is installed.
A README file is required for CPAN modules since CPAN extracts the
README file from a module distribution so that people browsing the
archive can use it get an idea of the modules uses. It is usually a
good idea to provide version information here so that people can
decide whether fixes for the module are worth downloading.
Heimdal::Kadm5 is a Perl XS wrapper around the Heimdal Kerberos
administrative client library (libkadm5clnt). Heimdal is a free slightly
less export challenged implementation of Kerberos5 by Assar Westerlund and
Johan Danielsson. This module exposes the API used to administer a
Kerberos realm: add, remove, and list principals, create keytabs, change
keys, and similar operations.

path to the library and header files using krb5-config.

Only Heimdal is supported. This module will not work with MIT Kerberos
and its Kerberos administration client library, despite similarities in
library and header file names.
