This is Crypt::IDEA version 1.06, an XS-based implementation of the patent-encumbered IDEA cryptography algorithm. It's designed to take full advantage of Crypt::CBC when desired. This module builds on many plaforms, with a little assistance (although this should be more rare now). Prerequisites ------------- For the full test suite to run, Crypt::CBC, version 1.22 or higher is required (recommended is 1.25 or higher), however this module is not mandatory for standalone IDEA use. Installing Crypt::IDEA -------------------------- nothing unusual: 1. perl Makefile.PL 2. make 3. make test 4. sudo make install Notes ----- This module has been tested successfully against the following: Linux 2.0.X (x86) Linux 2.2.X (x86) Linux 2.4.X (x86) Mac OS X 10.4.X (G4) Solaris 8 (x86 and SPARC) HP-UX 11 Win32 (mingw 3.4.5, WinXP) Perl 5.004_01, 5.004_04, 5.005_03, 5.6.0, 5.6.1, 5.8.* Please send other successful OS/platform combinations to: amused@pobox.com .
