I am trying to read a file that I encrpted using the Crypt::Blowfish_PP module. My problem is that when I try to read the encrypted file using read() or sysread() they stop reading unexpectedly at 115 bytes even though -s tells me the file is 2458 bytes long. the code I am using to read is as follows 
my $in;

open IN, "out.txt" or die "can't open IN\n";
open OUT, ">unencrypted.txt" or die "can't open OUT\n";

my $len = (-s IN);
print "len= $len\n"; #shows 2458
$len = sysread(IN, $in, (-s IN)); 
close IN;
die "read= $len\n"; #shows 115

The file I am trying to read starts like this.
