You can find some discussion on that by using Google. I haven't heard of an 
easy solution, although intensive Googling might reveal one. Download Perl 
source and find out what the crypt() does if you want to use .net crypto 
library to simulate crypt() - that's certainly one approach.

An easier alternative might be something like
