Not sure what you mean by breakage, but I'm sure Authen::TypeKey is
not broken. I'm *now* able to use it on my site to authenticate TK
users via version 1.1 protocol. See Kwiki::TypeKey module on CPAN and
its live demo at
http://blog.bulknews.net/typekey-kwiki/

But let me admit that there was a little funkiness when I first tried
the authentication using v1.1 and I believe it was related to
need_email part. Can you explicitly supply need_email=0 or 1 in the
original login URL for TypeKey and see what happens?

And here's a trivial patch to fix a typo in C::P::Authentication which
I found during walking around the code.
