Hi all, I hope I can get some help here, because going through the pod isn't helping me. I have a client who has decided that are going to create a URL linking to my system. In this URL will be a parameter (meaning something after the "?" or in the post buffer), that has been Blowfish encoded. I have the key, but am not sure what I need to do.

I found the Blowfish module on Cpan, however it almost seems that OpenSSL does something Blowfish related and I already have that installed. Is there anyway to use OpenSSL to decrypt this Blowfish encrypted string?

If yes, or there is something I need to look at, I would appreciate a pointer to the right documentation.

Further details

Thanks in advance.
