By the way: Did you know that crypt depends on OS, OS version, and perhaps on OS configuration? Perl's crypt is just a thin wrapper around crypt(3) in the libc. The libc is free to choose ANY algorithm. So crypt("AAA","BBB") running on one system may return something completely different when running on some other system. It may even choose to completely ignore the salt parameter. And to make things even more complicated: On some systems, crypt() is either not implemented at all (like Android) or it depends on how perl was compiled (Windows).
