in thread crypt and blowfish?

me@there>perl -V:.*?crypt.*? crypt_r_proto='0'; cryptlib=''; d_crypt='define'; d_crypt_r='undef'; i_crypt='undef';

man crypt says,

NAME enigma, crypt -- very simple file encryption SYNOPSIS enigma [-s] [-k] [password] crypt [-s] [-k] [password] DESCRIPTION The enigma utility, also known as crypt is a very simple encrypti +on pro- gram, working on a ``secret-key'' basis. It operates as a filter +, i.e., it encrypts or decrypts a stream of data from standard input, and + writes the result to standard output. Since its operation is fully symm +etrical, feeding the encrypted data stream again through the engine (using + the same secret key) will decrypt it. [..yadda yadda..]

Which is strange, and goes against what I just stated about blowfish.

Also, if you're interested:
