Ok, I downloaded and installed v2.15... I installed it with the instructions: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install and it overwrote my current version... so I guess what I'll do is copy the path to a different location then upgrade it again... then rename it to Crypt2/CBC so I can decrypt everything, then run Crypt::CBC to encrypt it again with the new system... that should work, right? What do you think? Thanks, Richard	[reply]

...then rename it to Crypt2/CBC You'd also have to change other occurrences of "Crypt::" into "Crypt2::". At a minimum the `package` directive at the top of the .pm file. Otherwise, this appears to be a reasonable plan... Good luck!	[reply] [d/l]

Excellent that worked... I copied it to the local user account that I was using... made it Crypt2::CBC, then upgraded Crypt::CBC, and call decryption using Crypt2::CBC and it still works! If I use Crypt::CBC I get my problem to return... so now I just have to build a script to run through the database unecrypt each entry then re-encrypt it with Crypt::CBC so it will be current. I may as well change the key now too, since I have not changed it in years. Thanks!!! Richard	[reply]
