Re^2: Perl hash password on existing password

in thread Perl hash password on existing password

Welcome, geirrg. Apologies that the first reply to you is a negative one, but security can be a serious matter. Your suggestion only adds a bit of security by obscurity to the script, and will only work under certain circumstances. Hashing is a much better solution; if it can be applied in this situation remains to be seen depending on MartinTomcik's clarifications.

No problem, as I would also consider hashing the password to be a better solution, especially securitywise. I totally agree that security is a serious matter :-) In my case, the solution was quick and easy (dirty?), but it was all that was needed.	[reply]
