encode passwords 64-based

[wvdw]

Hi,

I have a script that logs into a server (to query for data) but it uses the standard password. If this password has been changed the user must be able to enter the new password but this has to be 64-bases encoded before the script logs in to the server.

Does any body know if there is a module that will allow me to encrypt the password?

thanks.

For a module, try:

http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=encrypt

Or you can just encrypt any words by using the Perl's crypt() function:

$passwd = "perl";
$salt = 2;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print crypt($passwd,$salt);

Output
22RQ2.Iox4PuA
