in reply to OpenSSL and Crypt::CBC don't give the same ciphertext

$iv = pack("h*", $iv); $fixed_key = pack("h*", $fixed_key);
Is that correct? How does openssl interpret iv and key strings? Note that "With format "h", the first character of the pair determines the least-significant nybble of the output character"
$ perl -E 'say ord pack "h*", "01"' 16 # that is, 0x10 $ perl -E 'say ord pack "H*", "01"' 1

    Thanks. This was indeed the problem. I realized it myself around the same time you posted your comment.
