Hi
Heres the code: 
use Blowfish;

$blowfishkey=pack("H*",'5b3b272e5d39342d33313d3d2d252640215e2b5d00'); 
$packet = pack("H*",'071bdba4419a1e4e');

$cipher = new Crypt::Blowfish $blowfishkey;

print "Key: $blowfishkey\n";
print "Crypted packet: $packet\n";
$packet = $cipher->decrypt($packet);
print "Decrypted packet: $packet\n";
$packet = "\x00WildMaN";
print "Initial known packet: $packet\n";
$packet = $cipher->encrypt($packet);
print "Should be encrypted as: $packet\n";

I know the blowfish key. I know the string that was encrypted. I know the final encrypted packet. But if i decrypt it with perl Blowfish, or encrypt initial packet - it does not work, result is trash.

I've tried it on Java - works fine. I've tried it on C# - perfect. But on Perl it outputs trash. The only thing i can suggest is some internal troubles with string encodings, or maybe a bug within Crypt::Blowfish (my initial packet starts with zero character)... I have no ideas left, it works perfect on Java and C#.

Instead of "\x00WildMaN" (0057696c644d614e) i get this trash as decryption: 090216d5bf90386d.
