MD5-based crypt() This is a perl5 implementation of the MD5-based crypt() funcion commonly found on modern Unix operating systems such as FreeBSD, where this module was born. The original C code contained the following notice on it ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42): 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This same licensing scheme applies to this code. This implementation depends on MD5.pm to be correctly installed on your system. It has been tested on FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE and 2.2.6-RELEASE as well as on Digital Unix 3.0B. It should work on any system where perl's MD5() works correctly. Installing Crypt::Passwd::UnixMD5 should be as easy as unpacking the gzipped file and doing perl Makefile.PL make make install Please send bugs, queries, suggestions to Luis E. Munoz, lem@cantv.net Good luck.
