While it’s very easy to install hsxkpasswd<\/code> onto your system from CPAN – it’s literally just one command (see below) – it requires administrator access to the machine.<\/p>\n

\r\nsudo cpan Crypt::HSXKPasswd\r\n<\/pre>\n
This is all well and good if you have administrator access and are sure you want the module installed system-wide. But, what if you don’t have admin access, or, what if you just want to experiment with the module in your own home directory? The answer is perlbrew<\/a><\/code>, a system for running custom versions of Perl inside your home directory. No need for sudo<\/code>, and what ever you install with perlbrew<\/code> is entirely contained within your home directory. If you already have perlbrew<\/code> installed and configured with a version of Perl greater than or equal to 5.16, you can skip to the final step. If not, you’ll need to make your way through all the steps.<\/p>\n
Step 1 – Install perlbrew<\/code> Into Your Home Dir<\/h2>\n
There are a few different ways of installing perlbrew<\/code>, but I find the following method the simplest:<\/p>\n
\r\ncurl -L http:\/\/install.perlbrew.pl | bash\r\n<\/pre>\n
That should install perlbrew<\/code> into your home directory, and it should tell you to append some code to the end of your ~\/.bash_profile<\/code> file, which you can do with the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\necho 'source ~\/perl5\/perlbrew\/etc\/bashrc' >> ~\/.bash_profile\r\n<\/pre>\n
Once that’s done, close your Terminal window and open a new one (this is to pick up the new environment variables defined in ~\/perl5\/perlbrew\/etc\/bashrc<\/code>). You’ll know the install has been successful if you can run the perlbrew<\/code> command:<\/p>\n
\r\nperlbrew version\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 2 – Install a Compatible Version of Perl into perlbrew<\/code><\/h2>\n
The joy of perlbrew<\/code> is that you can have as many versions of Perl installed at any one time as you like, and you can then switch between them with the perlbrew<\/code> command.<\/p>\n
You can install Crypt::HSXKpasswd<\/code>, and hence the hsxkpasswd<\/code> terminal command, into any version of Perl greater than or equal to 5.16.<\/p>\n
The following command will install Perl 5.16 into perlbrew<\/code>:<\/p>\n
\r\nperlbrew install perl-5.16.0\r\n<\/pre>\n
Go off and make yourself a cup of your favourite beverage – this will take a while! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Once the install finally finishes, you can activate that version of perl (just on your account) with the command:<\/p>\n
\r\nperlbrew switch perl-5.16.0\r\n<\/pre>\n
It’s important to note that if at any stage you want to disable perlbrew<\/code> and get back to the default system version of perl, the command to do so is:<\/p>\n
\r\nperlbrew off\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 3 – Enable the perlbrew<\/code> CPAN Client<\/h2>\n
If you haven’t already done so, enable the perlbrew<\/code> CPAN client cpanm<\/code> with the command:<\/p>\n
\r\nperlbrew install-cpanm\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 4 – Install Crypt::HSXKPasswd<\/code><\/h2>\n
Once you have perlbrew<\/code> installed and configured with a compatible version of perl, you can install Crypt::HSXKPasswd<\/code> with the following simple command:<\/p>\n
\r\ncpanm Crypt::HSXKPasswd\r\n<\/pre>\n
You’ll know it’s worked if you can run the hsxkpasswd<\/code> terminal command:<\/p>\n
\r\nhsxkpasswd --version\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
