Thanks Liverpole for the quick reply. But does not that defeat the whole purpose of a passphrase? The data should only be decrypted if the correct passphrase is provided. Otherwise, anybody can read it! Am I missing anything here?

    Crypt::Simple only allows one passphrase per program invocation (or per module it is used in), if you use the passphrase => syntax. Try it maybe with the passfile or prompt option instead.

      I tried the other options but no luck. The problem is I cannot invoke the program twice since it is a TK/Gui based application. My code was a simplified version. Any way to override the referenced value of the passphrase key?
