Module Crypt::ECB ----------------- DESCRIPTION This module is a Perl-only implementation of the ECB mode. In combination with a block cipher such as DES, IDEA or Blowfish, you can encrypt and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. Though for security reasons other modes than ECB such as CBC should be preferred. See textbooks on cryptography if you want to know why. The functionality of the module can be accessed via OO methods or via standard function calls. Remember that some crypting module like for example Blowfish has to be installed. The syntax follows that of Crypt::CBC. INSTALLATION To install, just type perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If you are on a MS system, you possibly won't have make. But don't worry, installation is trivial as there is nothing to be compiled: Just create a directory 'Crypt' in Perl's libpath if not existing. Then copy 'ECB.pm' to that directory, that's all. Perl's libpath will be something like 'c:\perl\site\lib'. COPYING This module is distributed under the "Artistic License" using the same terms as Perl itself.
