Authen::Passphrase::Clear - cleartext passphrases
use Authen::Passphrase::Clear; $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::Clear->new("passphrase"); if($ppr->match($passphrase)) { ... $passphrase = $ppr->passphrase; $userPassword = $ppr->as_rfc2307;
An object of this class is a passphrase recogniser that accepts some particular passphrase which it knows. This is a subclass of Authen::Passphrase, and this document assumes that the reader is familiar with the documentation for that class.
Warning: Storing a passphrase in cleartext, as this class does, is a very bad idea. It means that anyone who sees the passphrase file immediately knows all the passphrases. Do not use this unless you really know what you're doing.
Returns a passphrase recogniser object that stores the specified passphrase in cleartext and accepts only that passphrase.
Generates a cleartext passphrase recogniser from the supplied RFC2307 encoding. The string must consist of "{CLEARTEXT}" (case insensitive) followed by the passphrase.
These methods are part of the standard Authen::Passphrase interface. The "passphrase" method trivially works.
