Cees Hek has just written CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication and solved
this config problem in a way I believe you can adopt. Here's part of his demo:

    package MyLogin;
    use base qw(CGI::Application);
   use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;
   my %config = (
        DRIVER => [ 'Generic', { cees => '123' } ],
        STORE  => ['Cookie', SECRET => 'X'],
        LOGOUT_RUNMODE => 'one',
    );
    MyLogin->authen->config(%config);
    MyLogin->authen->protected_runmodes('two');

In other words, his module imports authen() and you work via that().

So you import pdf() say.

Of course, this configures the plugin, not necessarily things such as the
downloaded file's name.

My major CGI::App currently only lets the user download *.csv files, and to be
able to add the dreaded pdf (to any app) would be good, but I certainly need to
be able to specify a file name.
