Re^3: Need help with Authen::Captcha instructions

your code is a copy of the SYNOPSIS part of the manual page of Authen::Captcha.

The SYNOPSIS part of a manual page to a module is meant to give a quick overview of the way a module works. The code written therein is not meant to be copied and run verbatim.

For instance, the line

my $results = $captcha->check_code($code,$md5sum);
[download]

must be run after an image has been created, displaying a random set of characters of $number_of_characters length, it's MD5 sum has been created and a user provided $code, i.e they typed the characters displayed on the image.

Image creation and verification are two sequential processes, but they are conveniently displayed in the SYNOPSIS of the module in one block.

I advise you to read the manual page of Authen::Captcha thoroughly, formulate your needs, engage in their fulfilment and come back with some code of your own.

regards,
--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

Thanks again for your reply. I found this link: http://search.cpan.org/src/UNRTST/Authen-Captcha-1.023/examples/README which says to define the 'number of characters.' I did this (see code in my previous reply) but because the code was not complete, it didn't work. Beyond what I have already, I'm at a standstill. I guess I've not had to do something like what this perl module involves. I've customized a number of scripts where the skeletal structure was available for a particular perl module or the module was simpler for me to figure out. If someone has a working example that adds image verification either from 'Authen::Captcha' OR 'GD::SecurityImage' OR another that is not readily 'OCRable', please let me know. Thank you.	[reply]
