    You type in the following:

    cpan CryptX

    The cpan tool will then fetch and install all required modules for CryptX and CryptX itself.

    If you have to ask this, then I really wonder what you tried before to install the module.

      Actually i usd perl package management and in that there are no direct packages and wondering for the exact pkg.

      found it and installed it and now i'm able to run it in cmd but while executing it in 'padre' it still showing the same error.

      but in the code i've used 32 bit key and 32 bit iv values. now it is asking for the 16 bit iv values.

      C:\Windows\system32>ppm install CryptX Downloading CryptX-0.013...done Unpacking CryptX-0.013...done Generating HTML for CryptX-0.013...done Updating files in site area...done 137 files installed this is the error message : Initialization vector must be exactly 16 bytes long when using the Cipher::AES cipher at cipher2.pl line 6
      use Crypt::CBC; use Crypt::OpenSSL::AES; my $key = '2bbacc08ace4f431eafc8dca13908007'; my $iv = '5345435245545f4b45595f3132333435'; my $cbc = Crypt::CBC->new( -cipher=>'Cipher::AES', -key=>$key, -iv=>$i +v ); my $ciphertext = $cbc->encrypt("secret data"); print $ciphertext;

      help me with this. is there any way that i can specify the length of key and iv values.??

        I don't know anything about CryptX, and you seem to be using Crypt::CBC, which has no relation to CryptX. I note that your $iv and $key variables seem to contain hexadecimal digits. The Crypt::CBC documentation indicates that you should use the string without any encoding. If you unpack your hex string into the real bytes, maybe that helps.

        I don't know if there is a way to specify initialization vectors of other lengths, but maybe if you read the documentation, you find more information.
