After reviewing some of their code I do totally agree. I thought that I would post something that I found interesting. It seems like the non-perlish way to do the task.
sub GeneratePassword {
@digit = ("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L", "M",
+"N", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "Y", "Z", "a", "b", "c",
+ "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "j", "k", "m", "n", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t"
+, "u", "v", "w", "y", "z", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9");
srand(time);
$num1 = rand(@digit);
$num2 = rand(@digit);
$num3 = rand(@digit);
$num4 = rand(@digit);
$num5 = rand(@digit);
$num6 = rand(@digit);
$RandomPassword = ("$digit[$num1]" . "$digit[$num2]" . "$digit[$num3]"
+ . "$digit[$num4]" . "$digit[$num5]" . "$digit[$num6]");
return($RandomPassword);
}
I also found how they are getting the cookies, which seems to be what I am going to do. I am going to just get the cookies and check the user to the assigned cookies information. Here is what they had to get the cookies.
sub get_cookie {
local($chip, $val);
foreach (split(/; /, $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'})) {
# split cookie at each ; (cookie format is name=value; name=va
+lue; etc...)
# Convert plus to space (in case of encoding (not necessary, b
+ut recommended)
s/\+/ /g;
# Split into key and value.
($chip, $val) = split(/=/,$_,2); # splits on the first =.
# Convert %XX from hex numbers to alphanumeric
$chip =~ s/%([A-Fa-f0-9]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
$val =~ s/%([A-Fa-f0-9]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
# Associate key and value
#undef($cookie{$chip});
next if (defined($cookie{$chip})); # \1 is the multiple separator
#$cookie{$chip} .= "\1" if (defined($cookie{$chip})); # \1 is the
+multiple separator
$cookie{$chip} .= $val;
}
} # end SR NB - the other subroutines from this library [set-cookie,
+split-cookie, delete-cookie] have not been included here.
