I'm going to have to disagree with the above posters--stay away from RC4. Although it's technically not busted straight out, it's very fragile to use in practice. Microsoft has a whole list of bugs regarding RC4 going back to NT3 and up through at least the first XBox. WEP's insecurity also stems from poor use of RC4.
I'd suggest going with Crypt::CBC using AES (Rijndael).

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).
