Perl cpan data-encrypted-0.07 module

[generic_1]

Hello I have been trying to get the data-encrypted module working under HPUX. I was curoius if anyone else can get it to work, and what they had to do to get the module working.

Thanks.

Data::Encrypted is rather old. Why do you want it? There are much better - and actively maintained - modules for (En/De)Crypt(ing) on CPAN

ftp://download.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/by-module/Crypt/
and
ftp://download.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/by-module/Digest/

I am looking at the functionality to store script data encrypted, and to be able to retrieve it on its own for use.

Procura I want something that encrypts scripted passwords. Do you have have somthing more up to date that will ask for the password if it doesnt have and save it encrypted to a file, if it has it, yank it from the file and decrypt it on the fly for use in your perl?

Anyone willing to test this module whos versed in Perl? Im curious why it seems to have problems under HPUX.

It does have quite a few weird dependencies. If you don't have these installed, it won't work:

l1:/pro/3gl/CPAN/Data-Encrypted-0.07 106 > perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite Crypt::RSA 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite File::HomeDir 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Term::ReadPassword 0 not found.
Writing Makefile for Data::Encrypted
l1:/pro/3gl/CPAN/Data-Encrypted-0.07 107 >

Since I am not installing those 3 other modules (which might again depend on more), I cannot test.

Its amazing how many cpan modules dont work :). If I ever get this puppy working, its becoming an executable LOL. So it can be transported with less pain.

Have you ever written anything that works better Procura or anyone that you are willing to share? The described functionality of the module is very neat. Getting it working is a pain. It doesnt seam to be limited to accounts and passwords either for its encryption.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

I have (so far) not written anything similar (in Perl), and currently I'm too short in time to take the temptation. Sorry.

If you want the password(s) to be consistent over sessions, have you considered shared memory?

# perldoc -f crypt

could also hint you to solutions
