Re: Weird error with Cryprt::Blowfish and Crypt::DES

I've run into this problem too in the past. If you ever parse text from an XML document and try to send it via Net::SSH::Perl, you will likely run into the "8 bytes" problem. I think it's because XML by default is encoded as UTF-16 or something like that. I used this method: Encode::from($text,'utf16','iso-8859-1'); where $text is the data/command I send using Net::SSH::Perl.

Many thanks I had the same problem when using XML::Simple. Encode::from_to($remotePass,'utf8','iso-8859-1'); did the "magic"

Thanks it works with the tips above :)
