The Win32 Apache used to use crypt and then there were some issues and they
switched to MD5. UNIX always used crypt (they might have other options now).
Looks like the module is using crypt and you're running on Win32.
You could always shell out and use htpasswd.exe (eg: untested) :
system "C:/<path>/htpasswd -b $passwd_file $user $passwd";
or maybe capture it:
my enc_passwd = `C:/<path>/htpasswd -s -b $passwd_file $user $passwd`;
