Thank you very much so far.

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?
