I've moved to a new server, which has changed my Perl version from v5.10.1 to v5.16.3

The following code is designed to generate a temporary user login password.

    
srand(time ^ $$);
my @passset = ('a'..'k', 'm'..'n', 'p'..'z', '2'..'9');
my $passwrd1 = "";
for (my $i=0; $i<8; $i++) { $passwrd1 .= $passset[int(rand($#passset +
+ 1))]; }

my $cryptedpass = crypt($passwrd1, substr($never_blank_value, 0, 2));

use Babel;
my $y = new Babel;
my $newpasswrd = $y->encode($cryptedpass, "$passwrd1");

Since moving server the value of $cryptedpass is sometimes undef and throwing warnings from Babel.pm
