Here is how it works: 
  $self->authen->config (
    DRIVER => [
        'Authen::Simple::Passwd',
        path => '/srv/www/cgi-bin/WebApp4/.htpasswd',
        ],
  );

If passwords in htpasswd file are encrypted with md5, it decrypts it with md5, if it is with crypt() then it uses crypt() for decrypting. No options needed! To know that makes live easier.
