I know that encryption of passwords and control of encrypted passwords is possible with PERL under unix systems. I do not know how, but I can find the info about that.
However, I'd like to know if this is also possible under Win32 and what are the main differences.
To be honest, I'm not sure I'd like to try this for hours before discovering that it's not possible under Win32, so any info about that would be REALLY useful ;)
