Assuming phpbb use this password library
http://www.openwall.com/phpass/, as suggested in this post
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=585387#p3225746.
Then you could probably use that library's perl port available here
http://search.cpan.org/~zefram/Authen-Passphrase/lib/Authen/Passphrase/PHPass.pm
to authenticate your users.

Otherwise I'm guessing you will have to port phpbb's hashing function
to perl using the version that came with your phpbb as reference.

Cheers.
