  Description     : modern bcrypt implementation

Crypt::Bcrypt provides a modern and user-friendly implementation of the
bcrypt password hash.

Note that in bcrypt passwords may only contain 72 characters. It may seem
tempting to prehash the password before bcrypting it but that may make it
vulnerable to password shucking, a salted solution (for example using a MAC)
should be used instead if one wants to support large passwords.

The password is always expected to come as a (utf8-encoded) byte-string.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
