Using ActiveState build 623 this produces: But on Linux we get: As is often the case YMMV. (Can we assume that Linux Perl is calling a system function which supports the MD5 option?) The standard Perl doc page for crypt doesn't mention this behavior. Nor does 'man crypt' on my Linux system. Where is it documented?
