Description :
This is just a wrapper for perl\'s \'crypt()\', which can do everything you
would probably want to do to store a password, but this is to make usage
easier. The object stringifies to the return string of the crypt()
function, which is (on *Linux/glibc* et al) in Modular Crypt Format:
That you can store, etc, retrieve then use it in \'check_password()\' to
validate a login, etc.
Not without some danger, so read on, you could also string compare it to
the output of another \'password()\', as long as the salt is the same. If you
pass a crypted string as the salt it will use the same salt.
If the given string is already hashed it is assumed to be okay to use it as
is. So if you are checking something from the outside world pass it as the
second argument to \'check_password($saved, $wild)\'. You could also use
\'crypt_password($wild)\', which will definitely crypt its input.
This means simpler code and users can supply pre-hashed passwords
initially, but if you do it wrong a stolen hash could be used as a
password, so buck up your ideas.
If you aren\'t running *Linux/glibc*, everything after the WARNING in the
synopsis is dubious as. If you\'ve got insight into how this module can work
better on your platform I would love to hear from you.
