use Authen::TuringImage;
my $auth = new Authen::TuringImage;
# Write challenge image to a file.

DESCRIPTION

This module implements an image based Turing test (aka "CAPTCHA") to help protect resources from automated access.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Creates and returns a new Authen::TuringImage object.

METHODS

challenge

Returns an image for use as a Turing test challenge, as well as the text of the challenge, in that order, as a two element list. The user must read and enter the characters in the image.

response

Returns the correct response to the Turing image challenge.
