  Why would you want access to it in the Perl module?  The "chap" module
already does this.

  Use the code that's already in the server?

  Your Perl module should supply a Cleartext-Password to the server, and
the server will Just Do the Right Thing.

  If you're thinking of doing something else, I'd like to know why.
Odds are it's overly complicated and unnecessary.
