NAME
Acme::CPANModules::CryptingPassword - List of modules/tools to
crypt/hash a password
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of
Acme::CPANModules::CryptingPassword (from Perl distribution
Acme-CPANModules-CryptingPassword), released on 2023-07-21.
DESCRIPTION
Bascally, the Perl's builtin crypt() is all you need. It supports all
the hashing algorithms supported by your system's C library. You just
need to supply the salt in the right format to select the hashing
algorithm. See the function's documentation for more details.
There are some wrappers and other utilities available on CPAN for added
convenience.

Crypt::Password::Util
Author: PERLANCAR <https://metacpan.org/author/PERLANCAR>
This module offers a one-argument crypt() which generates an
appropriate ("reasonably secure") salt for you. There are also
utility functions to check whether a string looks like a crypted
password and to find out the type of the crypted password.
App::bcrypt
Author: BDFOY <https://metacpan.org/author/BDFOY>
The distribution provides a "bcrypt" CLI utility to crypt every
input line with bcrypt. It can also compare a password with its
crypt.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
