OpenID Connect is a new federated authentication and authorization protocol based on OAuth 2.0. The specification hasn't been finalized yet, but is expected soon.

Perl support is available through the OIDC::Lite module written by Ryo Ito. You can fetch it through CPAN or directly from Ryo's github repository.

The OIDC::Lite::Demo::Client package provides example code for a bunch of providers (as of this writing, there's support for Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo Japan, and the Japanese social networking site Mixi).
