(Perl) BCrypt Hash a Password

Example to BCrypt hash a password.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Chilkat Perl Downloads Perl Module for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

use chilkat();

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

# The BCrypt cost factor (work factor) can be set to a value from 4 to 31.
# The default value is 10.  We'll set it here explicitly to the default value
# to make this new property known.  This line of code can be omitted
# if the default value of 10 is desired.
$crypt->put_BCryptWorkFactor(10);

$bcryptHash = $crypt->bCryptHash("mySecretPassword");
print "BCrypt hash = " . $bcryptHash . "\r\n";

# Sample output:
# BCrypt hash = $2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK

# Note: Your output will be different because the BCryptHash method
# automatically generates a random salt.
