ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES
App::PasswordManager
A simple script that lets you add, edit, list, and delete passwords
from the CLI. Passwords are stored in "~/.password_manager.json" in
a simple JSON object (hash) structure. Currently a very early
release that still needs to be updated.
Pros:
* simplicity.
Cons:
* At the time of this writing (version 1.0.0) only the password
hash is stored and returned, making this application unusable at
the moment.
* Password must be entered as command-line argument, making it
visible from process list and shell history, unless you
explicitly disable those.
* Cannot add other fields to a record, e.g. comment/note, date,
etc.
* Usernames are not encrypted.
Script: password_manager
App::orgadb
A CLI to read entries from an addressbook file in a specific layout
in Org format. This tool can be used to read from a PGP-encrypted
addressbook file, and thus can also be used as a password retriever.
Pros:
* Standard tool and format for the data storage (PGP-encrypted Org
file, which can be edited with Emacs).
Cons:
* Does not come with the functionality of adding/editing/removing
entries. Use your editor like Emacs to do so.
Script: orgadb-sel

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
