Apache::Htpasswd 1.8

Apache::Htpasswd is a Perl module that allows you to manage Unix crypt-style password file.

SYNOPSIS

 use Apache::Htpasswd;

 $foo = new Apache::Htpasswd("path-to-file");

 $foo = new Apache::Htpasswd({passwdFile => "path-to-file",
 ReadOnly => 1}
 );

 # Add an entry
 $foo->htpasswd("zog", "password");

 # Change a password
 $foo->htpasswd("zog", "new-password", "old-password");

 # Change a password without checking against old password

 $foo->htpasswd("zog", "new-password", {'overwrite' => 1});

 # Check that a password is correct
 $foo->htCheckPassword("zog", "password");

 # Fetch an encrypted password
 $foo->fetchPass("foo");

 # Delete entry
 $foo->htDelete("foo");

 # If something fails, check error
 $foo->error;

 # Write in the extra info field
 $foo->writeInfo("login", "info");

 # Get extra info field for a user
 $foo->fetchInfo("login");

This module comes with a set of methods to use with htaccess password files. These files (and htaccess) are used to do Basic Authentication on a web server.

The passwords file is a flat-file with login name and their associated crypted password. You can use this for non-Apache files if you wish, but it was written specifically for .htaccess style files.
