CGI::A...::crypt(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Filter::crypt — the crypt Filter, bestie 💅. This is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's literally all about that crypt filter life 🔥.

🧚 METHODS 🧚

🌸 filter ( undef, $string [, salt ] )

Okay so this one generates a crypted string, periodt 💖. The first parameter is always ignored, since there is only one way to use the crypt function — no cap. You can pass in an extra parameter to act as the salt, and that's the whole vibe check 🧂✨.

my $filtered = $class->filter(undef, 'foobar'); # mQvbWI43eDCAk

-or-

my $filtered = $class->filter(undef, 'foobar', 'AA'); # AAZk9Aj5/Ue0E

💅 check ( undef, $string, $crypted )

This one crypts the string and compares it against the provided crypted string 👑. The first parameter is always ignored, since there is only one way to use the crypt function — same rule, different method, iykyk 🦋.

if ($class->check(undef, 'foobar', 'mQvbWI43eDCAk')) {
    # they match
}
