Comparing with the FreeBSD ports collection sources, I only see
Authen::Krb5 combine with MIT Kerberos from same ports collection.
(whereas FreeBSD ships with Heimdal in base).

The author of the package, Jeff Horwitz, just confirmed that to me. I
wonder if it can be made to support Heimdal as well. I'm not exactly a
fan of placing two sets of Kerberos libraries on a single system
(although admittedly I've never tried yet).

I wonder how much work is involved in also allowing Authen::Krb5 to
compile against Heimdal libraries. Perhaps this is more suited to a
discussion off-list.

Cheers,
