in thread best way to encrypt long file names?

Thank you so much for telling me about Crypt::CBC. It looks like this module would work great for encrypting strings, files and other data.

However, the resulting encrypted strings are something like "Salted__8´•u,ÞÏZr¨Xfß6™ŒÄ9 þB#©ñüÃ". This would be fine if I was working with data, but this is not good for filenames.

Thanks again for your help. I'm sure Crypt::CBC will come in handy in the near future.

Why is it "not good?" Looks like you're not using encrypt_hex.	[reply]

Hence the reason my example uses encrypt_hex() ... There are many other ways to move from the binary bits to something suitable to your filesystem, but encrypt_hex is built in and easy... -Paul	[reply]
