The README should have mentioned this, but you need the checkpassword program. It comes in many colors and variants, but the vanilla one is from cr.yp.to as suggested by Steve Chandler just now. >The first sub (sub authenticated) says "# This is the only function you need to >change" >However, it does not say what I should change it to.

You don't need to do this; just use the stock checkpassword program.
