NAME

6       Crypt::PasswdMD5 - Provides interoperable MD5-based crypt() functions
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Crypt::PasswdMD5;
10
11           $cryptedpassword = unix_md5_crypt($password, $salt);
12           $apachepassword = apache_md5_crypt($password, $salt);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       the "unix_md5_crypt()" provides a crypt()-compatible interface to the
16       rather new MD5-based crypt() function found in modern operating sys‐
17       tems.  It's based on the implementation found on FreeBSD
18       2.2.[56]-RELEASE and contains the following license in it:
19
20        "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42):
21        <phk@login.dknet.dk> wrote this file.  As long as you retain this notice you
22        can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some day, and you think
23        this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return.   Poul-Henning Kamp
24
25       "apache_md5_crypt()" provides a function compatible with Apache's
26       ".htpasswd" files. This was contributed by Bryan Hart <bryan@eai.com>.
27       As suggested by William A. Rowe, Jr. <wrowe@lnd.com>, it is exported by
28       default.
29
30       For both functions, if a salt value is not supplied, a random salt will
31       be generated.  Contributed by John Peacock <jpeacock@cpan.org>.
32
33       EXPORT
34
35       None by default.
