b10m, I knew that file and explanation would raise eyebrows around the monastery. I am trying to avoid hard coding the dbi connect info into my scripts. I thought about encoding it somehow and having the scripts decode it as it is read. Thanks for the caution which underlines my original reservations. We'll see if another monk as advice, but in the meantime, I'll look at RSBAC.

Update: In surfing CPAN I found Crypt::Blowfish and Crypt::CBC that seem to do a good job of what I need--I think.
