NAME 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. ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES Crypt::Password::Util Author: PERLANCAR This module offers a one-argument crypt() which generates an appropriate ("reasonably secure") salt for you. There are also utility functions to check whether a string looks like a crypted password and to find out the type of the crypted password. App::bcrypt Author: BDFOY The distribution provides a "bcrypt" CLI utility to crypt every input line with bcrypt. It can also compare a password with its crypt. Script: bcrypt FAQ What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module? An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n CryptingPassword Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries CryptingPassword | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=CryptingPassword -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::CryptingPassword -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::CryptingPassword::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

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. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023 by perlancar .
