Not sure if it is a bug, in the cpan shell it used to show an error (something about a signature, didn't write it down at the time), but now it's just not found:

cpan[3]> install Crypt::Password
Warning: Cannot install Crypt::Password, don't know what it is.
Try the command

    i /Crypt::Password/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

cpan[4]> i /Crypt::Password/
Module  < Crypt::Password::StretchedHash (RITOU/Crypt-Password-Stretch
+edHash-0.05.tar.gz)
Module  < Crypt::Password::StretchedHash::HashInfo (RITOU/Crypt-Passwo
+rd-StretchedHash-0.05.tar.gz)
Module  < Crypt::Password::Util  (PERLANCAR/Crypt-Password-Util-0.12.t
+ar.gz)

Not to worry, I've looked at the source code and built a suitable wrapper to crypt for my code's use that mimics the relevant functions that I needed - just generating a suitable salt, and then extracting the salt again for the comparison with the plain text.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
