I am trying to setup a small application with a passwd controlled access. I need just a little bit of security so I decided to use the crypt function on perl to encrypt the user passwd. The problem I have is when writing the encrypted passwd to a file using the pack function. The pack function returns NULL when packing the encrypted passwd, so I am unable to save it to a file. I hope somebody can help me. Here is a sample code I have:
$passwd = <STDIN>; chomp($passwd); $epasswd = crypt($passwd,$salt); open(FILE, '>>$file_name'); print FILE pack ('A10','epasswd'); close (FILE); Thanks for any help _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
