Why are you posting this? It won't run. It's poorly structured and it demonstrates that you don't understand some basics about Perl. Ordinarily, I would not be so harsh, but you've been here before and ignored advice from some people you should definitely be paying attention to (merlyn, tilly and others).

Here are a few comments for you:

• You wrote, in response to those who claim that breaking your system should be trivial:

  At present the world is working on it, largely because of the most disturbing way it has been implemented.

  Yup. Saw it on CNN last night. HEADLINE: "NSA works furiously to break Steeeeeve's encryption algorithm."

  Please, credit us with some intelligence. If you want us to believe that the "world is working on it", provide some evidence.

• This ain't Perl:

  For $x = 1 To length($self->{R_KEY})
  [download]

  If you are going to lie to us, at least be a bit more clever about it. Your program won't run.

  HEADLINE 2: "NSA stops work on Steeeeeve's encryption algorithm after determining that it won't run."

• If you are so good at crypto, could you give us some credentials? Heck, at least provide us with some mathematical evidence that suggests your routine is worth something.
• As tilly has pointed out more than once, prototypes will not work on method calls. Prototypes are checked at compile time. The actual subroutine called by a method call is not determined until run time - too late for the prototype.

I am usually known for being a nice guy. However, I don't appreciate what appears to be someone lying (that someone is you, if it's not perfectly clear), nor do I particularly care for someone who completely fails to learn from his or her mistakes.

Cheers,
Ovid
