perl password confirmation

can anyone give me a sample code for letting a user to enter a password two times and compare them and print a text if they are correct or not, like when we create a new user. Thanks in advance...

Solution

  • From perldoc -f crypt,

    $pwd = (getpwuid($<))[1];

system "stty -echo";
print "Password: ";
chomp($word = <STDIN>);
print "\n";
system "stty echo";

if (crypt($word, $pwd) ne $pwd) {
    die "Sorry...\n";
} else {
    print "ok\n";
}

    Modify to suit your needs.
