Namaste Brothers and Sisters,

I have this http::Request::Common script that interfaces into my ISP's main admin page to create new pop boxes. Unfortunately, I didn't originally write it, and there is this strange encryption of the password that I can't figure out. The snippet looks like this: 
$request = $ua->request( POST $ServerURL, [ 
    form_aname =>     $in{username}, 
        form_passwd =>     $in{password}, 
        form_result =>     'true', 
        menu =>     'add_mbox', 
        user =>     'whatever', 
        auth =>     '*:1yIM9F71yIM9v', 
        account =>     'whatever', 
        mbox =>     '' ] );

The true password is auj8dhw5. If I place it as plain text, the script works just dandy. But, if I use crypt(), it comes up with a "GpxEdaMbUuvfY" which is an entirely different format. It doesn't work either. : (

Could my fellow seekers of truth please shed light on this contemplation?

Om Shanti Shanti
