UPDATED:
I edited Bcrypt.pm as below, and I can confirm this allows me to verify $2a$ or $2y$ bcrypt passwords.

=============

So assuming I pull a $2y$10$ hashed password from the database, I can just s/^\$2y\$/\$2a\$/ and verify it using Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt, is that I'm hearing?

If that is the case, I support I can hack up the module itself and allow $2a or $2y without throwing an error.
