Here is a snippet of the code I use:
@saltset =3D ('a' .. 'z', 'A' .. 'Z', '0' .. '9', '.','/');
#
$now =3D time;
($pert1, $pert2) =3D unpack("C2", $username);
$week =3D $now / (60*60*24*7) + $pert1 + $pert2;
$salt =3D $saltset[$week % 64] . $saltset[$now % 64];
$password =3D crypt($passwd, $salt);
