Hi i am seeking some knowlege and Wisdom from the monks:)
I have a program that gets a password from a user and then
stores this crypted password in a flat text file for later
reading now it works great except that it doesn`t pack(?)
the passwords correctly what i meen is UserA enters the
password: test12345 but when i do a bolean check the pasword test12345 matches
but so does the password test1234
and even test123 ?? 

my $pass = <STDIN>;
my $user = <STDIN>;
my @salt = ('a'..'z', 'A'..'Z');
my $passc = crypt($pass, @salt[int(rand(@salt))] . @salt[int(rand(@sal
+t))]);

open my $fh, '>pass.pwd' or die $!;

print $fh "$userñ$pass";
close($fh);

then i read it and check it like this: 

my $user = <STDIN>;
my $pass = <STDIN>;
my $bolead = 0;

open my $fh, '<pass.pwd' or die $!;

while(<$fh>){
    my ($one, $two) = split(/\ñ/, $_);

    if($one eq $user){
    $bolead = crypt($pass, $two) eq $two;
    }
}


if($bolead == 1){
  print "MATCH";
}else{
  print "NO MATCH";
}
