2. Is there an implentation of DES in perl? I didn't see a link to one on the export-a-sig page. If not perl, is there one for DOS? I'm looking for a bare bones one, not something with tons of features and a GUI. A perl or dos version of the unix "des" program would be preferable.
CPAN (the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network), <URL:http://www.perl.com/CPAN/>, is your friend -- use it. (Look under "Authentication, Security and Encryption" -- there are 3 versions of DES listed, along with an interface to SSLeay, which includes DES as one of its algorithms). ========================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN "Their walls are built of cannon balls, their motto is 'Don't Tread on Me'"
