I'm using a different bcrypt module, Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt,
According to the documentation,
Digest::Bcrypt is mostly a wrapper around
Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt.
.. it stores both the settings and the salt in the output hash
Does that mean you can deduce the
cost from the output hash alone? In order to adjust the cost over time, one either need to store the cost or be able to compute it (e.g. from the output hash).
