There are now implementations of Rijndael, Twofish, and others along with Idea (already there) as perl modules. Rijndael is the new AES standard in case anybody missed that. It's at /usr/ports/security/p5-Crypt-Rijndael and the Makefile date shows 2001/01/03 23:26:25 Though at my time it's not even there yet. Must be in Europe. Ok now here's the really dumb question. How do I use them? I've never used perl beyond creating the obligatory hello world script. I want to do the basic plaintext->cyphertext->plaintext path. Any help out there? I built the port, but don't know how to use it. I feel dumb, but as I said, never used perl or the p5 modules in the ports. Thanks.
