It took me a while to figure out the legalities of implementing crypt,
but it appears that implementing it is OK, as long as I don't include 
the actual source code in the distribution. 5.0.6 will probably have 
crypt implemented. If you need crypt right now, get it from 
ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerl/
