Authen::Passphrase::Clear (3pm)

        use Authen::Passphrase::Clear;

        $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::Clear->new("passphrase");

        if($ppr->match($passphrase)) { ...

        $passphrase = $ppr->passphrase;

        $userPassword = $ppr->as_rfc2307;

An object of this class is a passphrase recogniser that accepts some particular passphrase which it knows. This is a subclass of Authen::Passphrase, and this document assumes that the reader is familiar with the documentation for that class.

Warning: Storing a passphrase in cleartext, as this class does, is a very bad idea. It means that anyone who sees the passphrase file immediately knows all the passphrases. Do not use this unless you really know what you're doing.

Authen::Passphrase::Clear->new(\s-1PASSPHRASE\s0)

Returns a passphrase recogniser object that stores the specified passphrase in cleartext and accepts only that passphrase.

Authen::Passphrase::Clear->from_rfc2307(\s-1USERPASSWORD\s0)

Generates a cleartext passphrase recogniser from the supplied \s-1RFC2307\s0 encoding. The string must consist of "{\s-1CLEARTEXT\s0}" (case insensitive) followed by the passphrase.

These methods are part of the standard Authen::Passphrase interface. The \*(L"passphrase\*(R" method trivially works.
