Re^2: Crypt::CBC, Blowfish and Salt problem

Thanks... I tried that, here is my new code at the end of the subroutine:

my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new( -key   => $key,
                             -cipher => 'Blowfish',
                             -salt => 1,
                             -insecure_legacy_decrypt => 1
                           );
[download]

Now I get the following message, even if I take out the -salt=>1
Ciphertext does not begin with a valid header for 'salt' header mode

Any other ideas?

Thank you,
Richard

What Sam wrote above sounds like a good hypothesis... Have you tried that? If all else fails, you might also consider downgrading to pre-2.17 (temporarily, to get operational again) and then work out a way to migrate your old encrypted data to the new style usage/encoding. For that, it's probably a good idea to install the old version into some private location, and then put `use lib "/path/to/old/module";` at the top of the script.	[reply] [d/l]

You can select from "Other releases" on `search.cpan.org` — e.g. version 2.15 (dunno what happened to 2.16).	[reply] [d/l]

If you take out the -salt = >1 and add: -header => 'randomiv' it works.	[reply]
