Geektron:

I have used Crypt::CBC with Crypt::Blowfish in an application I am currently working on. I found that the result produced by encrpyting the same value on successive occassions did not match.

It seems from your comments you are storing an unecrypted password and encrypting it for comparison. This won't work, well not if you are using Blowfish or similar. I think you would need to decrypt for comparison, thats where I ended up.

Mind you, I did not investigate in depth, I found the problem and had to make it work.

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.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
