I don't know that you need a module:
$ perl -E 'say crypt "abc", q{$2b$12$} .
join "", (".", "/", 0..9, "A".."Z", "a".."z")[map { rand 64 } 0..21 ]'
$2b$12$ZO1oAMdD3PKv5ez5I6voPuG49EPUnNclRUA4UilfnCCiVP8OUWrlW
$ perl -E 'say crypt "abc",
q{$2b$12$ZO1oAMdD3PKv5ez5I6voPuG49EPUnNclRUA4UilfnCCiVP8OUWrlW}'
$2b$12$ZO1oAMdD3PKv5ez5I6voPuG49EPUnNclRUA4UilfnCCiVP8OUWrlW
See `man 3 crypt` and `man -O tag=crypt perlfunc` or `perldoc -f crypt`.
