Perl implementation of OAuth, an open protocol to allow secure API

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
