What do you mean by the word "hash"? In Perl, it often means a data
structure like %ENV or %hash, a variable which contains key-value
pairs. But there are other meanings.

In the context of a password, a "hash" can be a digest, a computed
value based upon the password. Is that what you mean?

If you're wishing to send data from one computer to another over the
Internet, there are modules on CPAN for all of the common protocols.
If you're wishing to compute a digest hash, there are modules on CPAN
for that as well.

I'm not sure why you mention a password "cracker". Do you mean a
program that would attempt to break into some password-protected
system "over the Internet"? It sounds as if you might have some
nefarious or malicious purpose. I hope that's not your intent.

Hope this helps!
