Hello,

Been trying to figure out how to encrypt a password w/Perl so it's uses the same
scheme used in a webmin control panel for password protecting directories. It
says it's the MD5 method, but I have tried serveral variations using the MD5 and
Digest::MD5 but can't seem to find the correct format. This is a sample of a
encyrpted password generated by the control panel:
$1$03838433$k1ZFcLyZ13Q8tU.3WpK9o1

Is there a Perl method to encrypt plain text password in this same manner ??

TIA. :)
