Really? Don't share it with anyone? It could be damaging? Perhaps I could email you a Kleenex?

I think if anyone were to paste that out and try to use it for "encrypting" credit card data, they'd be wasting their time twice, not to mention that would fall under the category of NMFP.

I'll take the chance that some knob will mistake weak encryption for strong encryption.

Here, maybe this will make you feel better: 

 use Digest::Perl::MD5;

 my $keystring="Enter a string here";
   my @stack;

   push(@stack, $blahblahwhatever);

   my $digest=new Digest::Perl::MD5;
   $digest->add(@stack);
   my $serial=$digest->hexdigest();

If that doesn't help, maybe you should write your congressman. ;) Or teach me a thing or two about encryption. Meanwhile, I'll continue to post whatever I please as long as smart cats like merlyn want to participate in the discussion. I think you're looking for www.pissandmoan.com.....You've got the wrong number. Have a bitchin day.
