I think base64 is a great way to go! Mime-Base64-3.09 looks good and is available on ActiveState also. The wikipedia has a good explanation of base64.

Convert-UU-0.5201 is an older technology. See wiki at uuencoding. The main point is to get this 8 bit binary stuff into printable ASCII stuff that won't get "mangled"

I found this wiki article interesting: Cipher-block_chaining.

    uuencoding looks good but Crypt::CBC provides encrypt_hex() and decrypt_hex() so I guess I'd go with hex if I was moving to Crypt::CBC anyhow.
