DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::IRC::Common provides a set of common functions for the POE::Component::Server::IRC suite.

FUNCTIONS

mkpasswd

Takes one mandatory argument a plain string to 'encrypt'. If no further options are specified it uses crypt to generate the password. Specifying 'md5' option uses Crypt::PasswdMD5's unix_md5_crypt function to generate the password. Specifying 'apache' uses Crypt::PasswdMD5 apache_md5_crypt function to generate the password. Specifying 'bcrypt' option uses Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt to generate the password (recommended).

 my $passwd = mkpasswd( 'moocow' ); # vanilla crypt()
 my $passwd = mkpasswd( 'moocow', md5 => 1 ) # unix_md5_crypt()
 my $passwd = mkpasswd( 'moocow', apache => 1 ) # apache_md5_crypt()
 my $passwd = mkpasswd( 'moocow', bcrypt => 1 ) # bcrypt() # recommended

chkpasswd

Takes two mandatory arguments, a password string and something to check that password against. The function first tries md5 comparisons (UNIX and Apache) and bcrypt, then crypt and finally plain-text password check.
