On code:

  • Please use strict and warnings. It will save you time in the future.
  • chr($key2) does nothing since you're discarding its value; using warnings would tell you this.
  • @cles = split(//, $key); foreach $key2(@cles) { chr($key2); push(@key3, $key2); }
    is the same as:
    @key3 = split(//, $key);
    (given that you don't use @cles latter on).
  • You should try to make this into a module that can be used. perlnewmod has some instructions on how to do this (in your case, you probably should just ignore the upload-to-CPAN part for now.)
  • You could write your code to have a lot less variables that are used twice and then thrown away.

On purpose:

  • CPAN has many modules for en/decryption. These modules implement algorithms that are better then yours, in terms of how easy breaking a message is likely to be. (It looks to me like yours has signifigant vunerablities, mainly deriving from the join("1", @key3) and possibly also deriving from mathematically properties of the result of an xor'ing data, uuencoding it, and then xor'ing it the same way. Your algorithm is probably also vunerable to a brute-force attack.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
