perlquestion crabbdean I've created a password encrypting application. Currently it uses [cpan://Crypt::CBC] with [cpan://Crypt::DES_EDE3] as the cipher. Its all working fine. BUT ... initially I wanted to use [cpan://Crypt::Blowfish] because from what I understand this is a better encryption algorithm. Problem is ... I'm on a win32 system and you can't install Blowfish with ppm3 (its not available on ppm3). I've attempted to download and install Blowish module from CPAN using nmake. I get the below error<br><br> <CODE> Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94.

Call me retarted but I'm calling on people who know a little more about this than me. Thanks. :-) <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-319416"> <br> [id://319416|Dean]<br> The Funkster of Mirth<br> <i><small>Programming these days takes more than a lone avenger with a compiler. - sam<br> [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt|RFC1149: A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers ]</i></small> </div></div>
