( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
1. Is there a way to encrypt a Perl file containing password? I need to import database credentials from a file and would like to know more about encrypting passwords

Is it sufficient to just rely on your system's file permissions? Tall order, I know. That said, maybe you want to look at gpg if security is actually important (can't vouch for Crypt::GPG, but it's there). If not, maybe file perms (0600).

3. Books/Resources recommendations -- any advice on books on perl deployment practices? docker?

DDG that - lots of talks from past conferences; look on dockerhub for perl environments, lots of neat stuff. And perl books in generally, there are many lists in PMs and I've even typed my list up a few times.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
