I always use something like

perl -e 'print crypt("password","salt"),"\n";'

I always get "password" and "salt" backwards, but you can always tell when you 
do that because the output starts with the first two characters of the 
password instead of the two characters of the salt.

(e.g. wrong output:

% perl -e 'print crypt("salt","password"),"\n";'

^^ clue that you got them backwards)
