NAME

       Authen::Htpasswd::User - represents a user line in a .htpasswd file

SYNOPSIS

           my $user = Authen::Htpasswd::User->new($username, $password[, @extra_info], \%options);
           my $user = $pwfile->lookup_user($username); # from Authen::Htpasswd object

           if ($user->check_password($password)) { ... }
           if ($user->hashed_password eq $foo) { ... }

           # these are written immediately if the user was looked up from an Authen::Htpasswd object
           $user->username('bill');
           $user->password('bar');
           $user->hashed_password('tIYAwma5mxexA');
           $user->extra_info('root', 'joe@site.com', 'Joe Sysadmin');
           $user->set(username => 'bill', password => 'foo'); # set several at once

           print $user->to_line, "\n";

METHODS

   new
           my $userobj = Authen::Htpasswd::User->new($username, $password[, @extra_info], \%options);

       Creates a user object. You may also specify the arguments and options together in a hash:
       "{ username => $foo, password => $bar, extra_info => [$email, $name], ... }".

       encrypt_hash
       check_hashes
           See Authen::Htpasswd.

       hashed_password
           Explicitly sets the value of the hashed password, rather than generating it with
           "password".

   check_password
           $userobj->check_password($password,\@check_hashes);

       Returns whether the password matches. "check_hashes" is the same as for Authen::Htpasswd.

   username
   hashed_password
   extra_info(@fields)
       Get and set the fields of the user line. These methods, as well as "password" and "set"
       below, write any changes immediately if the user was lookup up from an Authen::Htpasswd
       object. If the username is changed, the old entry is not preserved.

   password
           $userobj->password($newpass);

       Encrypts a new password. Dies if $newpass is not provided.

   set
           $userobj->set(item => $value, ...);

       Sets any of the four preceding values at once. Only writes the file once if it is going to
       be written.

   to_line
           $userobj->to_line;

       Returns a line for the user, suitable for printing to a ".htpasswd" file. There is no
       newline at the end.
