Seeking password reset feature for CGI::Session::Auth::DBI authentication framework

hesco has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone written and committed to CPAN any code, compatible with CGI::Session::Auth::DBI which will send to an on-file email address, a password reset hash and then permit that user to reset their own password? Are their any modules compatible with this framework which will test a password for its strength and reject passwords which are too simple / crackable?

Lazy coder using one-way md5 hashes would love to avoid wheel re-invention.
