Well, this isn't about the Perl parts of the article.

I was reading the article, and I noticed that on the picture of the user id/ password screen, someone wrote, "oh my god..." or something like that. I'm a Christian, and I don't really appreciate the use of that phrase unless it's in a serious way. I'd like it if you would change that. There's so many other phrases you could use that don't offend anyone.

Thanks,
Matthew Fox

Nice article, but it misses the key point of confusion. If, every time I call encryp:password, it uses another salt, and hence comes up with a different encrypteed password, how on earth can I use it for password protection. I need to be ebalt to encrypt the same password twice, and get a result I can compare, no?

Seems a point worth mentioning, I'm certainly confused, and researching more on the web as a result ...
