 `-------------------------------------------------

    You'll want to look at Crypt::CBC which can use many of the other
    encryption types found in Crypt::* such as Blowfish.  CBC stands for
    Chaining Block Cipher (IIRC). 

    It is because Blowfish is a block cipher that only handles 8 bits at
    a time, CBC handles this "chaining" of these 8 byte sections
    together for you.
