[Catalyst] Advice for Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC needed

[Bernhard Graf]

In a Cat application I use C:P::Authentication::Store::DBIC and it works 
well.

But now I need to modify authentication a little bit:
A status field of the user object should also be checked, e.g. grant 
access only if status is set to "active".

Documentation of the module mentions a configuration field named 
"catalyst_user_class":

<cite>
If using a plain model class which has username and password fields is 
not working for you, because you have more complex objects, or you need 
to do something else odd to fetch those values or your role fields, you 
can subclass Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC::User, and 
supply your class name here.
</cite>

Is that the way I have to go? If so an example would be helpful, because 
documentation for C:P::Authentication::Store::DBIC::User is a little 
sparse. ;-)
