Storing encryted passwords in MySQLby spacewarp (Pilgrim) |

spacewarp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm writing an application for which authentication is necessary. While I understand how crypt() works, what I'm wondering (and finding a dearth of information on) is how long the resulting strings will be, so I can allocate appropriate space in a fixed-width database (in this case, MySQL). I'm sure I can't be the first person that's come across this.. does anyone have a solution? (incidentally, the passwords will be limited to a max of 12 characters) Thanks in advance.. Spacewarp
