Chris,
Perl makes this straightforward and platform independent!
On the Linux side (showing my bias towards RedHat & its clones)
perl-Crypt-CBC
-----------
CBC -- cipher block chaining
this module is a wrapper for the block ciphers and will help control
padding and key derivation (via hashing)
block ciphers include
perl-Crypt-Rijndael (aka AES)
perl-Crypt-3DES
perl-Crypt-Blowfish
perl-Crypt-DES_EDE3
the names I show are redhat package names and map to CPAN like this.
perl-Crypt-Blowfish -> Crypt::Blowfish
on Fedora and Centos my names can be directly used in calls to YUM.
On the Win32 side, you can use CPAN or better yet
