Crypt::Passphrase is a module for managing passwords. It allows you to separate policy and mechanism, meaning that the code that polices authorization doesn’t have to know anything about what algorithms are used behind the screen, and vice-versa; thus making for a cryptographically agile system.

You might know the Perl Maven site. On one hand it is a blog, on the other hand it is a collection of little pieces of examples I collected. I had quite a few cases when I had to repeat some task various times at various clients. I collected the solution on the Perl Maven site and that helped me find these solutions when I needed again. Making my knowledge base public also helped a few other people. Recently I started to rewrite it as a Static web site and the Rust Maven along with a few other sites already uses the Static Site Generator. A few days ago the first person who is not me started to use it. It might be time to invite you too to give it a try!
