Does anyone know which (other than RC4), if any, encryption modules
will work in the following scenario:

I need to encrypt (with perl on Linux web server) some information
obtained from a web form. Then I need to be able to decrypt it from a
Visual Basic application on a Windows box.

I see that there are modules around for Blowfish for both perl and
VB...but how do you know if they use the same algorhtym. I am doing
the Perl end and someone else will be doing the VB end. I just need to
know what are my options for encrypting that they will be able to
decrypt.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could check out Crypt::Tea_JS ( see http://search.cpan.org/~pjb/ )
which has implementations in Perl, C (partly) and JavaScript.
Normally, if something can be done in JavaScript it can be done
in anything.

Ideally, you could persuade your someone else to let me include the VB
to the Crypt::Tea_JS module in the ./examples directory or somewhere ...
