I had this same problem with blowfish and ended up needing to encrypt everything in the same file. The easiest way to do this was to create a module with two subs that handle encryption and comparision. I offer this untested code, which will hopefully point you in the right direction. Note I have not done any taint checking or etc. so this if very unsecure code, I'm also not saying this is a good idea just that it will work.

package encryptstuffmodule;

use Exporter;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);
use Crypt::Blowfish;

$VERSION     = 1.00;
@ISA         = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT      = ();
@EXPORT_OK   = qw(&encryptforauthorize &encryptnew);
%EXPORT_TAGS = (DEFAULT    => [qw(&encryptforauthorize)],
                AddNewEncrypt    => [qw(&encryptnew)]);

sub encryptnew
{
  my $encryptme = sprintf("%08d", $_[0]);
  my $fileforpass = "/foo/bar/baz/.passwords"; #a database is proably 
+better but I will use a file for example
  my $salt = pack("H16", "hf73mkf6vbf559");
  my $encrypted = $cipher->encrypt($encryptme);
  open (TESTFILE, ">>$fileforpass") || die "TESTFILE cannot open";
  print TESTFILE $encrypted, "\n";
  return 1;
}

sub encryptforauthorize
{
  my $fileforpass = "/foo/bar/baz/.passwords";
  my $salt = pack("H16", "hf73mkf6vbf559");
  my $cipher = new Crypt::Blowfish $salt;
  my $forcompare = $cipher->encrypt(sprintf("%08s", $_[0]));
  open (TESTFILE, $fileforpass) || die "File cannot open";
  while (<TESTFILE>)
  {
    chomp;
    return "okay" if $forcompare eq $_;
  }
  return "bad";
}

1;
