Authen::Passphrase::Clear(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Authen::Passphrase::Clear(3pm)

NAME
Authen::Passphrase::Clear - cleartext passphrases SYNOPSIS
use Authen::Passphrase::Clear; $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::Clear->new("passphrase"); if($ppr->match($passphrase)) { ... $passphrase = $ppr->passphrase; $userPassword = $ppr->as_rfc2307; DESCRIPTION
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. CONSTRUCTORS
Authen::Passphrase::Clear->new(PASSPHRASE) Returns a passphrase recogniser object that stores the specified passphrase in cleartext and accepts only that passphrase. Authen::Passphrase::Clear->from_rfc2307(USERPASSWORD) Generates a cleartext passphrase recogniser from the supplied RFC2307 encoding. The string must consist of "{CLEARTEXT}" (case insensitive) followed by the passphrase. METHODS
$ppr->match(PASSPHRASE) $ppr->passphrase $ppr->as_rfc2307 These methods are part of the standard Authen::Passphrase interface. The "passphrase" method trivially works. SEE ALSO
