Hello,

I'm trying to encrypt perl script by using Filter::Crypto package with strawberry perl.

So I'm installing refered "https://metacpan.org/pod/Filter::Crypto#INSTALLATION"

I can see "Options for specifying or deriving the key?" while installing Filter::Crypto?

there are 4 options.

1 Enter a password when prompted

2 Have a password randomly generated

3 Enter a key when prompted

4 Have a key randomly generated

the default install setting is 2.

when I sellect 1, I have to input password like 1234.

But after finishing to install, There are no different to selecting 2.

If when I sellect 3, I have to input key value. But I can't pass to next step because command console requires to input key continuously.

Finally, I want the encrypted perl file can't decrypt on other PC.

So I guess upper key or password setting is for that can't decrypt on other PC.

Could you please explain this?

Best Regards,

serpino.
