Perl and Crypt::CBC question

[powerhouse]

This is more of a Crypt::CBC question... So if you are familiar with it, I would appreciate some help, if you can.

I wrote a script, which encrypts some data before saving it in a database. It is not really important and imperitive that I make it work, but, I would like to know what I'm doing wrong...

Here is the error I'm getting:

Software error:
Cipher stream did not contain IV or salt, and you did not specify thes
+e values in new() at /home/##username##/public_html/vars.cgi line 425

Here is that subroutine that has that line:

sub decryptData
{
my $ciphertext = shift;
my $key = "Some Key Here, but Not Shown Here for several purposes";
my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new ($key, "Blowfish"); # This is line 425

    return ($cipher->decrypt_hex ($ciphertext));
}

Do you see what it is talking about by Salt or IV?
