# Authen::Htpasswd::Util(3pm)

performs encryption of supported .htpasswd formats

## NAME

Authen::Htpasswd::Util - performs encryption of supported .htpasswd formats

## METHODS

### htpasswd\_encrypt

```
    htpasswd_encrypt($hash,$password,$hashed_password);
```

Encrypts a cleartext `$password` given the specified `$hash` (valid values are `"md5"`, `"sha1"`, `"crypt"`, or `"plain"`). For `"crypt"` and `"md5"` it is sometimes necessary to pass the old encrypted password as `$hashed_password`  to be sure that the new one uses the correct salt. Exported by default.

### supported\_hashes

```
    my @hashes = Authen::Htpasswd::Util::supported_hashes();
```

Returns an array of hash types available. `"crypt"` and `"plain"` are always available. `"sha1"` is checked by attempting to load it via Digest. `"md5"` requires Crypt::PasswdMD5.
