FreeRadius has an in-process perl module for handling authetication,
authorization, accouting pre and post processing.  By filling in the
skeleton, it is pretty easy to get customizations done.  I had to work a bit
with the radius.conf files to get things in the right order, but things
worked out nicely.  It provides a mechanism for returning customized vendor
attributes such as the Framed-IP-Address attribute.
