Try surrounding your code with the <code> tags as suggested. Here is a repost:
Any ideas why this will not work correctly? I've tried using it's generated password for Apache, Squid, and system logins and it won't work for any of them. 

sub mkpasswd {
        srand(time|$$);
        $random = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";
        for (1..2) {
            $salt .= substr($random,int(rand(36)),1);
        }
        return crypt (@_, $salt);
}

open(PWD,">>/some/file/used/for/apache/auth.txt");
print PWD "@ARGV[0]:" . mkpasswd(@ARGV[1]) . "\n";
close(PWD);
