The documentation for Crypt::Blowfish and Crypt::CBC is all on CPAN, as is the source. Try http://search.cpan.org, and search for 'blowfish'. There's also Crypt::Blowfish_PP, which interoperates with Crypt::Blowfish, is pure Perl, and so will definitely run on Windows. I've been pointed to http://www.counterpane.com/vectors.txt. Hopefully this will prove useful. What I don't understand, though, is why anyone working on an OpenSRS- related project wants to implement Blowfish for themselves. I've now worked on three separate systems interfacing to OpenSRS (PHP/Web, Perl/Web and Perl/email), and at no point did I even consider writing my own Blowfish routine -- I just used a library. All my systems have been on Unix, though. Are there *no* encryption libraries available on Windows? Chris.
