We use Vintella for central authorization but do not use it for root or application IDs. In an enterprise this big changing any hashing algorithms for passwords is not feasible.
It sounds like I'm SOL. I can create a different script to handle just the Linux servers but was really hoping to be able to do it in one script.

Hi,
I do not want the plaintext password to appear in the netrc file. So I want to encrypt the password. Is there a way to encrypt the password and still make ftp to use the netrc ?
Thanks in advance.

plack::app::cgibin
Plack::App::CGIBin(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Plack::App::CGIBin(3pm)
NAME
Plack::App::CGIBin - cgi-bin replacement for Plack servers
SYNOPSIS
use Plack::App::CGIBin;
use Plack::Builder;
my $app = Plack::App::CGIBin->new(root => "/path/to/cgi-bin")->to_app;
builder {
mount "/cgi-bin" => $app;
};
# Or from the command line
plackup -MPlack::App::CGIBin -e 'Plack::App::CGIBin->new(root => "/path/to/cgi-bin")->to_app'
DESCRIPTION
Plack::App::CGIBin allows you to load CGI scripts from a directory and convert them into a PSGI application.
This would give you the extreme easiness when you have bunch of old CGI scripts that is loaded using cgi-bin of Apache web server.
HOW IT WORKS
This application checks if a given file path is a perl script and if so, uses CGI::Compile to compile a CGI script into a sub (like
ModPerl::Registry) and then run it as a persistent application using CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
If the given file is not a perl script, it executes the script just like a normal CGI script with fork & exec. This is like a normal web
server mode and no performance benefit is achieved.
The default mechanism to determine if a given file is a Perl script is as follows:
o Check if the filename ends with ".pl". If yes, it is a Perl script.
o Open the file and see if the shebang (first line of the file) contains the word "perl" (like "#!/usr/bin/perl"). If yes, it is a Perl
script.
You can customize this behavior by passing "exec_cb" callback, which takes a file path to its first argument.
For example, if your perl-based CGI script uses lots of global variables and such and are not ready to run on a persistent environment, you
can do:
my $app = Plack::App::CGIBin->new(
root => "/path/to/cgi-bin",
exec_cb => sub { 1 },
)->to_app;
to always force the execute option for any files.
