The heart of the site that I'm maintaining and adding to is a mod_perl
based system, so any perl modules are possible. I tried to find some on
CPAN, but the few I read through were either not well documented or were
meant for SAML 2.0 which seems to store stuff in different ways (still
XML, but not the same structure). The client documentation says this is
a SAML 1.1 implementation, not a SAML 2.0.
