Hello, I'm trying to encrypt a string then base64 encode it so its safe for use in a url.
Is there anyway to encrypt a string using Crypt::CBC so that each run would produce a completely different output? I get close with the following but the first 11 chars (im guessing its the random header) are always the same in my output, even though the rest of the encytped string changes.
my $key = 'somerandomkey';
my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new( -key => $key,
-header => 'randomiv',
-cypher => 'Blowfish',
);
my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($string);
my $safe_data = urlsafe_b64encode($ciphertext);
I'v also tried -header=> none with an iv and that produces the exact same result for each run.
Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
