NAME Authen::DecHpwd - DEC VMS password hashing DESCRIPTION This module implements the SYS$HASH_PASSWORD password hashing function from VMS (also known as LGI$HPWD), and some associated VMS username and password handling functions. The password hashing function is implemented in XS, with a hideously slow pure Perl backup version for systems that can't handle XS. INSTALLATION perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install AUTHOR The original C implementation of LGI$HPWD was written by Shawn Clifford. The code has since been developed by Davide Casale, Mario Ambrogetti, Terence Lee, Jean-loup Gailly, Solar Designer, and Andrew Main (Zefram). Mike McCauley <mikem@open.com.au> created the first version of "Authen::DecHpwd", establishing the Perl interface. This was based on Shawn Clifford's code without the later developments. Andrew Main (Zefram) <zefram@fysh.org> created a new "Authen::DecHpwd" based on the more developed C code presently used, and added ancillary functions.
