Hi, I am trying to get htaccess via AuthDBI. I can't seem to figure out how it checks the password. I have read the source of AuthDBI.pm. No luck. What I am trying to do is get a perlscript to fill a database with a table called users. Which includes row :username,password and groupname. What goes wrong is when I encrypt the password and put it in the database AuthDBI rejects all my logins. But when I set PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_encrypted off. All is fine. Pure logic I circumvented the encryption part and just do a unencrypted match. 
sub simpelCrypt {
    my $p = @_;
(1)    my $salt = join '', ('.', '/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z','a'..'z')[rand 64
+, rand 64];

(2)    #my $salt  = ($p =~ /^(..)/);
    my $crypt = crypt($p, $salt);
    return $crypt;
}

My (1) $salt gives me those errors with login. My (2) $salt gives me an empty row in the database. The solution might be trivial but, aren't they all. Thanks for your trouble
