Oops let me try again. So far in my app I have been restricting access to registered users that have created an account by doing:

get '/dashboard' => sub {

if (! defined(session 'username')) {

redirect '/'; }

}

Is this okay? I really don't have any special roles to authenicate just need to make sure that registered users only get to certain pages -- pages that would only make sence if you were a registered user in the first place. Can I forgoe more formal and extensive authentication in my case?
