+=head1 NAME
+
+Wallet::ACL::Base - Generic parent class for wallet ACL verifiers
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    package Wallet::ACL::Simple
+    @ISA = qw(Wallet::ACL::Base);
+    sub check {
+        my ($self, $principal, $acl) = @_;
+        return ($principal eq $acl) ? 1 : 0;
+    }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Wallet::ACL::Base is the generic parent class for wallet ACL verifiers.  It
+provides default functions and behavior and all ACL verifiers should inherit
+from it.  It is not used directly.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new(DBH)
+
+Creates a new ACL verifier.  The generic function provided here just creates
+and blesses an object and ignores the provided database handle.
+
+=item check(PRINCIPAL, ACL)
+
+This method should always be overridden by child classes.  The default
+implementation just declines all access.
+
+=item error()
+
+Returns whatever is stored in the error key of the object hash.  Child
+classes should store error messages in that key when returning undef from
+check().
