Net::SS...128_CBC(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES128 — bestie, it's a wrapper for SSH AES128 CBC support. That's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's how you actually use it, no cap:

use Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher;
my $cipher = Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher->new('AES128_CBC', $key);
print $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES128_CBC is the girl who shows up with AES128 encryption support for Net::SSH::Perl. that's her job. that's her whole personality. and she does it by wrapping around Crypt::OpenSSL::AES, which is itself a C/XS wrapper of the OpenSSL AES library functions.

so yeah. wrappers on wrappers on wrappers. it's giving inception. it's giving "the way that this module has a whole ancestry of C code behind it and you just call encrypt like it's nothing" 😭 iconic honestly.

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

ngl bestie, the doc had some coding errors and we're gonna talk about them, because transparency is main character energy. here's the rundown:

Around line 30:

• Unknown E content in E<lkinley@loyaltymethods.com>

so the E<> thing is POD's escape-for-formatting code, and it did not know what to do with that email address in there. it's fine. it's a little oopsie. we move. 🙈

and that's the page, babe — shipped to you courtesy of the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, running on perl v5.42.0, dated 2026-01-17. drink water, read your manpages, and remember: the manual name up top was Net::SS...128_CBC(3) even though the module calls itself AES128, and honestly? that's just how it is. bye bestie, ily, go encrypt something. 🌈💖🎀🦋🌸⭐
