As I said it was pseudocode =)
I meant something like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/;
use List::Util qw/min/;
sub pw_not_ok {
my $pw = shift;
my $short =
sub { "is too short" };
my $lowercase =
sub { /[a-z]/ ? "" : "has no lowercase character" };
my $uppercase =
sub { /[A-Z]/ ? "" : "has no uppercase character" }; ### FIXED
my $number =
sub { /[0-9]/ ? "" : "has no number" };
my $special =
sub {
if (
/[\x21-\x2F]/ ||
/[\x3A-\x40]/ ||
/[\x5B-\x60]/ ||
/[\x7B-\x7E]/
) {
return "";
} else {
return "has no special characters";
}
};
my $pass = sub {""};
my @rules_for_class =
(
[ $short ],
[ $short ],
[ $lowercase, $uppercase, $number ,$special ],
[ $lowercase, $uppercase, $number ],
[ $lowercase, $uppercase ],
[ $pass ]
);
my $len = length $pw;
my $idx = min(int($len/4),5);
for my $rule ( @{ $rules_for_class[$idx] } ) {
$_ = $pw;
if ( my $err = $rule->() ) {
return $err;
}
}
return;
}
# --------- Tests
for my $pw (
"A" x 3 ,
"A" x 7 ,
"A" x 11,
"a" x 5 . "A" x 3,
"a" x 5 . "A" x 3 . "1",
"a" x 5 . "A" x 3 . "1" .":",
"a" x 24,
){
if ( my $err = pw_not_ok($pw) ){
warn "ERROR: $pw is $err\n";
} else {
print "OK: $pw\n"
}
}
ERROR: AAA is is too short
ERROR: AAAAAAA is is too short

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
