Except crypt is one-way and you know he's going to want to de-crypt and from his description it has nothing to do with validating but rather storing (near as I can tell). So I doubt it suits his needs (but then I'm kinda speculating too). I managed to get Crypt::PPDES to work (with some fooling around that he said he didn't want to do [handling 8-byte chunks]), but have no idea about it's robustness. Crypt::DES_PP also seems to work with minimal testing.
