Package: libauthen-captcha-perl (1.023-2)

Extension for creating captcha's to verify the human element in transactions

Authen::Captcha provides an object oriented interface to captcha file creations. Captcha stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. A Captcha is a program that can generate and grade tests that:

  - Most humans can pass.
  - Current computer programs can't pass.

The most common form is an image file containing distorted text, which humans are adept at reading, and computers (generally) do a poor job. This module currently implements that method. We plan to add other methods, such as distorted sound files, and plain text riddles.
