Over the years I've developed my own private Perl web login module. It
takes a username or email address and password, checks it against the
database, and creates the cookies. It has a 'forgot my password' option

To clarify why a salt is necessary, consider the classic time-space

Never hurts to fix those things, really. It doesn't negatively impact
performance in a noticeable way, and the security benefits

In the perllexwarn man page, it states that the scope of the warning
