You can't 'decrypt' crypt(). That's the whole point. You can check other
encrypted text to see if it matches, but you can't un-encrypt the original
text. --

The mesage is coming from Perl. (I'm guessing you are running a windows port?)
crypt() is not compiled in because this great country of ours is so paranoid.

Go to http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/Crypt.pm and save this file. Put
it in your Perl path and do

use Crypt;

near the top of your script. This is a Perl implementation of crypt() by
Martin Vorlaender  that works the same.

BTW, this question gets asked and answered practically every week. You could
have save yoruself some time by searching the news archives like dejanews.

Hmmm, sorry I didn't do a search. I haven't seen a message of this
type before. 
	Well, I went and got the activestate package, which didn't
have NET::SMTP installed, so then I had to get Mail package or some
such package which contained SMTP.PM but installed it to
site\lib\mail. So now do I call smtp like this?
use site::lib::mail::SMTP;
	Or, is there a Net SMTP package somewhere? To tell you the
truth, I'm thinking of going back to the older package and doing what
you said.

Actually, a Deja News search for keywords crypt and paranoia and dates in 1998
turned up 32 results for me.  This included questions, responses and
"false-positives", so I suspect "practically every week" may be a slight
exaggeration.

I'm curious though about what frequency is necessary for faqness.  I suspect
"practically every week" should be, but I'm not sure about "once a month or
so", which seems to be the case in this instance.

How do we decide what goes into the FAQ anyway?

And will we take the y2k faq out after the scare's over?  ;-)

So what is the question? Is it about crypt() or SMTP?  If you need Net::SMTP
you install the libnet package using ppm.

>perl ppm.pl libnet

Installing modules with Active Perl is described in the docs that comes with
it.

Hi,  

I have a basic question about Crypt.pm. I encryted a text by using
Crypt.pm, but I can't find the de-crypt function.  Can someone tell me
to decrypt a function?

Thank you.

Well I could tell you to, but you won't be able to do it <g>.  Crypt is
one-way encryption.  If you encrypt the same word twice, using the same
salt, you will get the same result.  This allows you to do things like
verify passwords, but you cannot decrypt crypt.

There is no decrypt function.   There is no function that will unencrypt
cleartext encrypted with crypt().

Subject: Tricky input problem...
Message-Id: <7b1rmi$in9@catapult.gatech.edu>

Okay... I need to input single characters from the user with the
following requirements (on a Linux machine):

   1) No carriage return necessary (i.e. returns as soon as one
                                    character is hit)
   2) Buffered
   3) Character is not echoed to screen
   4) Command returns quickly if no characters waiting

I have tried a lot of things, and I can only figure out how to
get 3 out of these 4 requirements to work at the same time.  Here
is how I can currently do it best:

sub GetKey {
    my $Read;
    ReadMode("cbreak", STDIN);
    $Read = ReadKey(.05,STDIN);
    ReadMode("original", STDIN);
    if ($Read) {
      return $Read;
    }
    else {
      return 0;
    }
}

So, here is what this function does depending on whether there
is something waiting in the buffer:

Something waiting in buffer:
   Reads only one character w/ no carriage return necessary
   *sometimes* the character is echoed to the screen
     (this is the part I want to get rid of)
   returns the key read

Something not waiting in buffer:
   Waits for 0.05 seconds for a character
   returns 0 if no character comes in that time

It seems that I can either set a ReadMode of 'chbreak' *or*
'noecho', but not both...

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.

It's not tricky if you read the FAQ  -  specifically perlfaq5

     How can I read a single character from a file?  From the keyboard?

And I found this in seconds by trying  `perldoc -q character'.

I should have said so in my original post, but I have indeed read
the FAQ and tried both of the solutions presented therein.

The first solution the FAQ presents (i.e. the 30-line one) works
perfectly... except for the fact that it will sit and wait until
a character finally comes in the buffer.

The second solution the FAQ presents is much simpler, and just
about the same thing I had come up with on my own.  First, you
have to take the first parameter from ReadKey and change it to
something like .05 so that it won't wait forever.  Even then,
the keys are still echoed to the screen.

Once again, I had 4 requirements.  I said I could get 3 of
them working... but never all four:

1) Must return quickly if nothing is waiting
2) Must not echo anything to the screen
3) Must return after only one character typed w/ no carriage return reqd
4) Must buffer the input

I still don't get it... what does number 4 mean? If it means what I
think it means, how do you reconcile it with "must return after only one
character typed"? That sounds like "must be unbuffered" to me.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish, but:

 * If you want to split on dots, use

	split /\./

because dots are special in regexes, and

* The code snippet

	$pmd = $Wordsss[1];       

will extract the *second* item. the first item is number 0.

That means 'split on every character that is not a new-line', which 
leaves nothing for @Wordsss.  You want to split on a literal '.', so 
use:

           @Wordsss = split(/\./, $TheLine);

The second test is redundant.  If it isn't equal, it's unequal 
(Aristotelian logic -- the excluded middle).

I thought that

would extract 5 bits of $somedata's first byte into $foo and
the other three bits of $somedata's first byte into $bar

but it

extracts five bits of $somedata's first byte into $foo
and three bits of $somedata's second byte into $bar.

I thought that perl would have a slick way to do the former
without masking and shifting. Has it?

I think it should just be $remotehost=$ENV{REMOTE_HOST};, then just
pick it up with a regex modifier that picks up the final "text after"

How accurate do you think this data will be?  I have heard arguments
in the advertising listserves that this data is very inaccurate.  I am 
not certain that this is true, but if anyone knows, I'm sure this
would be interesting to this person as well...

BTW: you get more responses if do not ask to be emailed directly,

Administrivia:

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.

]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body.  Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription.  This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.

The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc.  For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:

	subscribe perl-users
or:
	unsubscribe perl-users

to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.  

To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.

To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.

To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.

The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.

The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.

For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
