( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Monks,

I've been working with digests (thanks to DigitalKitty) and a few other encryption algorithms. One that I stumbled over is Crypt::CBC. I want a readable "encypted" value so that I can decrypt it at a later point of time.
The (very simple) code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Crypt::CBC; my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new( -key => 'test', -salt => 1, ); my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt("encrypt_me"); # my $plaintext = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext); $print_this=unpack("H16", $ciphertext); #so far, so good $packed_stuff=pack("H16", $print_this); print $packed_stuff."\n";
Isn't $packed_stuff be equal to $ciphertext?
If not, having $print_this, how do I get $ciphertext?

Any help would do...

Thanks,
Rupesh.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
