Re: Simple Encryption question

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not roll your own encryption. If you want encryption, use one of the many decent well known and well tested crypto systems.

Crypt::CBC is a good place to start.

There's even a few Pure Perl implementations, in case you can't install XS based modules — for example, because it's not your own system. Check for the substring "PP" in the module/distribution name: try a CPAN search for crypt PP. Pure Perl modules usually don't require proper "installation".	[reply]

This post proves that reading a thread entirely rewards you 99% of times; you can't never tell where you're going to really learn something new. ++! Flavio (perl -e "print(scalar(reverse('ti.xittelop@oivalf')))") Don't fool yourself.	[reply]
