Hi guys. I need to translate some C code into Perl. I want to decrypt NS1crypted stuff on solaris. There is a tool written in C by the opensolaris project.

(http://stuff.iain.cx/2008/05/03/ns103eb2365be169abbe3a45088a10a/)

I need a Perlscript what does the same thing so i started to translate this code. But I kinda stuck in a function where I keep getting different return values. Here's the C code i want to translate:

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libsldap/common/ns_crypt.c

I stuck in the c_setup function.

Perlcode: http://pastebin.com/ucg6V0Ce

I guess it's some stuff with signed-overflow integers in the C-code but I don't really have an idea. I'm trying this for days now.. please help me. regards,bottch

• 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).
