Name        : perl-Authen-Captcha
Product     : Fedora 19
Version     : 1.024
Release     : 1.fc19
URL         : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Authen-Captcha/
Summary     : Perl extension for creating captchas
Description :
Authen::Captcha provides an object oriented interface to captcha file
creations. Captcha stands for Completely Automated Public Turning test to
tell Computers and Humans Apart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

An issue in previous versions of perl-Authen-Captcha is that the generated public string (file name of the picture) for the captcha is merely a checksum of the secret string. It is trivial to break such short strings even using google instead of a rainbow table.

Version 1.024 of the module fixes this.
