The answer is a resounding YES! However your question is a bit sketchy. (<-- word of the day!)

The best (IMHO) is Digest::MD5. This mod allows for both encryption and decryption, (good tip: run md5 twice). For information on loading perl modules on windows check here.

Hope that helps, also as far as the difference (between *nix and Windows) in handling encryption is little (if any) as long as you use modules (like MD5). If you try to use system resources such as rand or crypt then you begin to find more changes. MD5 on windows or *nix is the same (AFAIK).
