If your working with perl and are worried about exposing your password through a config file (which you could limit 
access through with the proper permissions), or as noted above in regards to exposing the username, password 
information through arguments then you might want to utilize an encrypted version of the password within the config 
file. Take a look at the mcrypt perl module as it would handle it easily for you:
