This patch could use some more in-code comments. For example, this

+# get prefix for kerberos executables and try to find them at this path
+sub test_krb5_paths

is not helpful. What does it "get", where does it put it, how does it
"try", and what does it do if it fails? What are the inputs and outputs
of this function?

+ # remove '\n' since 'krb5-config --prefix' returns path ends with '\n'
+ $krb5_path =~ s/\n//g;
