Brothers, I have just arranged to convert some PHP-based testing code to Perl. As an afterthought, the client mentioned, "By the way, we're using a PBKDF2 crypt, which was not available in PHP," thus disproving my theory that it would be no problem as Perl's crypt and PHP's crypt are identical.

"But, no worries, there's still CPAN!", I thought. Alas, the only match for PBKDF2 on CPAN is in a makefile for Filter::Crypto, which is a source filter and doesn't mention PBKDF2 in its POD anyhow. Google finds many references to documents talking about it, but no implementations. Super Search didn't find anything at all.

So just what is this PBKDF2 crypt and, if it's not the same as Perl's standard crypt, where might I find a usable implementation?
