Perl has a built in crypt function that will encrypt test. You cannot de-crypt that information though. I have used it when creating some cgi based applications that need a username / password. All I do is store the username /password encrypted in a flat file. Then when the person logs on, I encrypt the entered username / password and compare it to the flatfile.

Im not actually sure what type of encryption MySQL uses for that function (DES?). I dont care if I need extra modules, etc. I just want to know how to do it if a MySQL server isnt available. - Matt _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
