Welcome mikemc24,

I downloaded your code and verified your results. I made some small changes: 

my $encrypted = $cipher->encrypt_hex($user_string);
my $decrypted = $cipher->decrypt_hex($encrypted);

print $encrypted, "\n\n";
print $decrypted, "\n\n";
if ( $user_string eq $decrypted ) { print "Good!\n"; }

I got the 'Good!' result, so I think your Perl script is working.

The way it looks to me, you need to verify that the exact '-key' and '-iv' are correct. If they are correct, then your source string for comparison should be verified as being correct.

Good Luck...Ed
