It was Monday, May 12, 2003 when david nicol took the soap box, saying: : : The comment belongs within the parentheses. Not really, the parens only enclose the example code used to create a random salt with the proposed characters. The recommended characters are details before the begining of the parens. : -+'/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z')[rand 64, rand 64]>). This set of : ++'/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z')[rand 64, rand 64]>. This set of : +characters is just a recommendation. The characters allowed in : +the salt depend solely on your systems crypt library, Perl can't : -+restrict what salts C<crypt()> accepts. : ++restrict what salts C<crypt()> accepts.)
