PPD or repository for installing Crypt::Blowfish on Win32 (AS Perl)?

[ChrisO]

Anyone know of a repository or a PPD for installing Crypt::Blowfish on
Windows running ActiveState Perl v5.8.0 via PPM? AS, being in Canada
and governed by weird Canadian "permits," (more stinking government
intervention in this area of encryption), apparently can't provide quite
a few Crypt::_________ packages (or has chosen not to because, I would
presume, these so-called Canadian permits cost $$$).

Ultimately, I'd like Crypt::Blowfish and not Crypt::Blowfish_PP.

Providing a PPM repository where one could install other Crypt::________
modules would put you into the bonus round.

Do a search for Crypt and you find much more than just Blowfish.

Sha-weet...! Thanks. Knew one had to be out there somewhere.

I really have no idea what you are talking about, but ...

you have heard of Google, right?

THIS is what I'm talking about:

you have heard of Google, right?

No, I *wrote* Google... And I was looking for a Blowfish module to help
finish a piece of it off before the IPO...

Seriously, I don't post unless I've already Googled extensively. That's
Web sites and Groups. Now maybe I missed just the right incantation of
search criteria, but I tried quite a few reasonable combos.

NOW it'll be in Google though... See how we've helped mankind having
this interchange? ;-)

THIS is what I'm talking about:

Which came up as the first match after me entering

perl crypt::blowfish windows ppd

in the search field. I still have no idea what your attitude is about.

Huh?

I already regret having provided the information.

The uwinnipeg ppm repository is mentioned right at the bottom of the section
you referenced. It often pays not to skim when reading; you could wind up
unable to figure out why split splits the way it does if you go that route.

Ah, my last reply was an attempt to be light-hearted that probably
didn't translate too well. My own twisted sense of humor perhaps. Your
original reply was valuable, I thought.

My first reading of that page only stated that Crypt-SSLeay and
Net_SSLeay could be found at the Winnipeg repository; it never mentions
the other Crypt modules (as a recheck seems to verify -- am I missing
something?), though in hind-sight, it would have been reasonable for me
for me to at least make an attempt see if they were there anyway. It is
a bit misleading for them to highlight only the SSLeay modules and not
mention that ALL of the Crypt module PPDs are there.

Anyway, several here got me pointed in the right direction, my failed
attempt at humor with some not withstanding. And a point can still be
taken from your reply.

Thanks!

OK. Sometimes it is hard to 'get' the humor through pixels on the screen.
Sorry about that.
