6Crypt::CipherSaber is a Perl module providing an object oriented interface to
7CipherSaber-1 and CipherSaber-2 encryption. See the POD for further details on
8use. See http://ciphersaber.gurus.com for more information about CipherSaber.

10After unpacking the tarball, to install this module type:
11
12 $ perl Build.PL
13 $ ./Build
14 $ ./Build test
15 # ./Build install
16
17You can also use the Makefile.PL, but I don't.
18
19The encryption itself is simple, relatively fast, and fairly secure. It uses a
20shared secret system, and is suitable even for binary files. It should run
21without modification anywhere Perl runs. This ought to work as far back as
22Perl 5.004, so please let me know how it does.

24Prerequisites: Scalar::Util
25Test requirements: Test::More, Test::Warn

27Potential enhancements and plans:
28
29 * built-in support for a better randomization scheme?
30 * support changing keys in an object rather than creating a new one?
