Thanks, I went through using the WordPress hashing functions.
So from a Perl CGI I execute this kind of php code (I will have to pass user and password in the call) that I saved into an .htaccess-protected directory so that it can only be called from the Perl script:
<?php
$username = 'myuser';
$plain_password = 'mypassword';
require_once('/path/to/wp-blog-header.php');
require_once('/path/to/class-phpass.php');
$userdata = get_user_by('login', $username);
$result = wp_check_password($plain_password, $userdata->user_pass, $us
+erdata->ID);
if ( $result ) {
    echo "1";
} else {
    echo "0";
}
?>

[download]

Then the Perl CGI calls it as

$ok = `php /path/to/check_password.php`;

The problem is that when I call the php from the browser it gives 1 or 0 back, but apparently from Perl it gives back an empty space.
Thanks you for any hint.
