Refer to all modules using their /dist/Foo/ path instead of via the mishmash of old author path, new author path, module documentation, etc. This pass brought to you by loving, painstaking hand editing.

Crypt::xDBM_File encrypts/decrypts the data in a gdbm,ndbm,sdbm (and
|
|
maybe even berkeleyDB, but I didn't test that) file. It gets tied to a
|
|
hash and you just access the hash like normal. The crypt function can
|
|
be any of the CPAN modules that use encrypt, decrypt, keysize, blocksize
|
|
(so Crypt::IDEA, Crypt::DES, Crypt::Blowfish, ... should all work)
|
|
|
|
***IMPORTANT*** Encryption keys (the key you pass in on the tie line)
|
|
will be padded or truncated to fit the keysize(). Data (the key/values of
|
|
the hash) is padded to fill complete blocks of blocksize().
|
|
|
|
The padding is stripped before being returned to the user so you shouldn't
|
|
need to worry about it (except truncated keys). Read the doc that comes
|
|
with crypt function to get an idea of what these sizes are. If keysize
|
|
or blocksize returns a zero the default is set to 8 bytes (64 bits).
