That doesn't do what you want. Have a look at the reply from fokat below; it has the/a correct answer. Also, if your libc's `crypt` supports MD5 passwords natively, all you have to do is generate an appropriate salt; see this node for more info.	[reply]

that's why fglock had that line at the top of his post... `use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
