Not quite single characters. Crypt::Blowfish is for
encrypting 8 characters at a time. You're right that Crypt::CBC is for arbitrary length messages, and
can use Crypt::Blowfish, though
I have run into trouble where I couldn't decrypt messages
sent to me where someone was encrypting with a
non-standard CBC.

Could you give some deeper explanation?
I'm very new to Cryptography and the results I've found by searching the monastery weren't clear enough.
Thanks a lot for your patience,

I'm by no means an expert on cryptography, nor the math involved.. ;-)
Have a look at this, at which point i defer to a more experienced monk to explain the concepts of cypher block chaining.
Get yourself a copy of Applied Cryptography, its a great book that explains how all this works: various protocols, attacks, algorithms et al. Once you've read it and know all about how to implement good security, go read Secrets and Lies....
