[IRCServices] Perl Script for Encrypting Passwords..

[Craig McLure]

Ok, thanks. I'll concider creating a small 'one-run' module, that lets the chanserv and nickserv protocol load, runs thru the structs MD5ing the passwords, then makes services quit. I dunno the ETA for this mod, but i have a lot of things to finish before i concider it :/
