This module is a Perl-only implementation of the cryptographic cipher block
chaining mode (CBC). In combination with a block cipher such as DES or IDEA,
you can encrypt and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. The encrypted
messages are compatible with the encryption format used by the OpenSSL package.
