# Authen::SASL::SASLprep(3pm)

A Stringprep Profile for User Names and Passwords (RFC 4013)

## NAME

Authen::SASL::SASLprep - A Stringprep Profile for User Names and Passwords (RFC 4013)

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Authen::SASL::SASLprep;
  $output_query = saslprep $input;
  $output_stored = saslprep $stored;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module implements the *SASLprep* specification, which describes how to prepare Unicode strings representing user names and passwords for comparison. SASLprep is a profile of the stringprep algorithm.

## FUNCTIONS

This module implements a single function, `"saslprep"`, which is exported by default.

- **saslprep($input, \[$stored\]**

  Processes `$input` according to the *SASLprep* specification and returns the result.

  If `$input` contains characters not allowed for *SASLprep*, it throws an exception (so use `"eval"` if necessary).

  If the boolean parameter `$stored` is true, an exception is also thrown when characters are not allowed for stored strings (i.e., when characters are unassigned in Unicode 3.2). The default is to prepare query strings, in which unassigned characters are allowed.
