Thank you very much so far.

I found it there at 
http://cpan.valueclick.com/authors/id/D/DI/DIDO/Crypt-Rijndael-0.01.readme

and eventually found it locally.  I can do   man 3 Crypt::Rijndael 
and it finds it (the same page) but 
%man -k Rijndael
Rijndael: nothing appropriate                                           

	Oh, well I can read it but it doesn't tell me, the perl idiot, 
anything useful.
It says:
SYNOPSIS
     use Crypt::Rijndael;

     # keysize() is 32, but 24 and 16 are also possible
     # blocksize() is 16

     $cipher = new Crypt::Rijndael "a" x 32, Crypt::Rijndael::MODE_CBC;

     $crypted = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);
     # - OR -
     $plaintext = $cipher->decrypt($crypted);

What do I do with that?  Thanks again, sorry for the dumb questions,

					Tim
