I will preface this by saying that I am a beginner in the use of PAUSE, 
even though I registered my name (BRUGNARA) many years ago, without 
using it until now.

I read [1] that it is recommended to ask for advice in this mail-list in 
naming new modules.

I would like to publish a new module to generate SCRAM encrypted 
password in the format used by PostgreSQL.

A source code (usable from the command line) can be found here:

https://www.leader.it/en/Blog/PostgreSQL_SCRAM-SHA-256_authentication

I just need to rewrite it using the appropriate package by making 
available method, or an exported function

A name, I think suitable, could be:

Postgresql::Password::SCRAM

I would be grateful in receiving your opinion.

Best regards
Guido Brugnara
