Re: [MacPerl] Crypt:DES anyone?

[Drew Linsalata <drew@gonzo.equinox.net>]

Perl I can handle.  C I'm a bit weak with. (-:

That being the case, what is the general consensus on what it would take to
port Crypt-Blowfish_PP-1.11 to MacPerl?  All it will save is is the need to
run another Verisign cert on a FreeBSD box, so its not a disaster if it will
not work, but I would be willing to toss a couple of bucks at someone to get
this done.

Email if off the list if interested and able.
