title: Register Captcha: a CGI script to do EPrints registrations with Authen::Captcha creator: Muldoon, Mark description: Our EPrints server was receiving a steady trickle of user registrations from people with names like "Replica Rolex". Although it is entertaining to imagine that there may be people calling themselves after watches, I suspect that my new users are mostly robots, and so I wrote this CGI script, a modified version of the register script found in the cgi directory of an EPrints 2.3 installation, to add a captcha test to deter registrations from non-humans. There are two files here, the script itself and a ReadMe file: both are plain text. One can see the script in action at http://eprints.ma.man.ac.uk/perl/register date: 2007-03-08 type: Script type: NonPeerReviewed format: ascii identifier: http://files.eprints.org/237/3/ReadMe format: ascii identifier: http://files.eprints.org/237/4/register_captcha identifier: Muldoon, Mark (2007) Register Captcha: a CGI script to do EPrints registrations with Authen::Captcha. relation: http://files.eprints.org/237/
