Acme::CPANModules::CryptingPassword - List of modules/tools to crypt/hash a password

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of Acme::CPANModules::CryptingPassword (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-CryptingPassword), released on 2023-07-21.

DESCRIPTION

Bascally, the Perl's builtin crypt() is all you need. It supports all the hashing algorithms supported by your system's C library. You just need to supply the salt in the right format to select the hashing algorithm. See the function's documentation for more details.

There are some wrappers and other utilities available on CPAN for added convenience.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
