Hi all
I have been using the following script to create passwords for user accounts, and just got my wrists slapped because it is not creating md5 passwords, instead, its just creating plain crypt passwords.
my @chars = ('a'..'z', 'A'..'Z', 0..9);
my $password = do {{
local $_ = join "" => map {$chars [rand @chars]} 1..8;
redo unless /[a-z]/ && /[A-Z]/ && /\d/;
$_;
}};
my $salt = join '',
('.', '/', 0..9,
'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z')[rand 64, rand 64];
my $encrpass = crypt($password, $salt);
I have looked into Digest::MD5, but i am lost on how to use it.
Help would be much apprecaited.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
