NAME
Crypt::PasswdMD5 - Provides interoperable MD5-based crypt() functions
SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::PasswdMD5;
$cryptedpassword = unix_md5_crypt($password, $salt);
$apachepassword = apache_md5_crypt($password, $salt);
DESCRIPTION
the "unix_md5_crypt()" provides a crypt()-compatible interface to the rather new MD5-based
crypt() function found in modern operating systems. It's based on the implementation
found on FreeBSD 2.2.[56]-RELEASE and contains the following license in it:
"THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42):
<phk AT login.dk> wrote this file. As long as you retain this notice you
can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some day, and you think
this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return. Poul-Henning Kamp
"apache_md5_crypt()" provides a function compatible with Apache's ".htpasswd" files. This
was contributed by Bryan Hart <bryan AT eai.com>. As suggested by William A. Rowe, Jr.
<wrowe AT lnd.com>, it is exported by default.
For both functions, if a salt value is not supplied, a random salt will be generated.
Contributed by John Peacock <jpeacock AT cpan.org>.
EXPORT
None by default.
