I'm tempted to say "yes". However... I expect you might find a module meeting your expectations -- I haven't run htdigest, but I expect that the problem is that the htdigest apache utility expects to be run interactively, expecting you to interact with it. --chargrill `s*lil; $=join'',sort split q; s;.;grr; &&s+(.(.)).+$2$1+; $; = qq-$_-;s,.,ahc,;$,.=chop for split q,,,reverse;print for($,,$;,$,$/)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

From IO::Tty README: "Sorry, ActiveState Perl on Windows is NOT supported, basically because there are no pseudo-terminals under Windows." So Expect.pm isnt an option any more.	[reply]

Have you tried the following from the commandline? perl -MDigest::MD5 -e'print Digest::MD5::md5_hex("user:realm:password")' (that should be all on one line)? It should produce the MD5 password string. If that works, but the following into your perl script: use Digest::MD5; ... my $MDpasswd=Digest::MD5::md5_hex("$user:$realm:$password"); where $user is the 'user' variable generated within your script, $realm is the 'realm' variable generated within your script and $password is the plain text password generated within your script (perhaps the code between 'use Digest...' and 'my $MDpasswd=...' opens up the files you were mentioning and reads from it the user, realm and uncoded passwords). Hope this helps	[reply]
