I haven't used Crypt::Lite, but it does have a CPAN rating that is not complimentary (http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Crypt-Lite). As for a simple solution, if you don't need to decrypt passwords (why would you want to encrypt userids?), just perhaps validate password entry, then a one way function like the builtin crypt is probably one of the simplest.
