Hi Rasmus,
Here's what used in the perl script.
------------------------------------------------------
use Digest::MD5;
use Digest::MD5 qw( md5_hex );
my $encrypt_password;
my $digestObject = Digest::MD5->new();
$digestObject->add("$password");
$encrypt_password = $digestObject->digest();
----------------------------------------------------
Here's a sample result form it.
text password : f0rget123
encrypted password: òOú«#7Fá73¯
Under PHP I'm getting a much bigger string with MD5() for the same clear
password string.
Thank you for helping me out with this.
Regards
R'twick
