Yeah, some of the names are really neat eh? I have been using Blowfish in my **nix stuff for a while now. But this app requires cross platform compatibility (we have users on all major Perl platforms with this app).

One of my colleagues who does FPGA stuff for me has an implementation of Rijndael running in an Altera Stratix device which we use for secure data transmission over fibre, we have also done Twofish and Blowfish which some clients prefer. We have a somewhat advanced cordless phone prototype here - it is called the 'Blow-Phone' - guess which encryption stadard it uses :)

For whatever reason it seems that things have changed at ActiveState. I checked last night and they have a variety of Crypt:: modules there now, including CipherSabre, Twofish, DES and TripleDES. CipherSabre I was able to instyall, the others - no, sadly. They seem to be listed by the repository but not actually available.
