Net::SS...:AES_CBC(3)

💖 Net::SS...:AES_CBC(3) — the user-contributed Perl docs era 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Net::SS...:AES_CBC(3) — yes, that's the real name, the truncation is iconic and we are not fixing it. sit down, grab a boba, and let's get into it 🧋✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES_CBC — it's the base class for SSH AES CBC support. that's the whole job. it's the blueprint, the parent energy, the main character that lets the little cipher classes do their thing 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, in code, exactly as written:

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

look at that. use the module, build a cipher object with Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher->new('AES128_CBC', $key), and then print $cipher->encrypt($plaintext). three lines. slay. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES_CBC provides AES CBC encryption base class support for Net::SSH::Perl. that's it, that's the description, it is short and it knows it. it's not out here doing the actual encryption itself — it's the base class, the foundation, the one who shows up early and sets the tone. the subclasses handle the specifics. periodt 👑

✨ POD ERRORS ✨

omg. okay. not everything is perfect and we love honesty. the doc itself flagged some coding errors, and here's what it said:

Around line 60:

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

yeah, the E<...> POD formatting thing got fed an email address and it did NOT eat. it's giving "the email is in there but the formatter is confused" 😭 the vibe check failed on that one specific line. everything else? flawless. 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie 🌈

cute lil sign-off: this little doc lives in the perl v5.42.0 era, dated 2026-01-17, and it's filed under Net::SS...:AES_CBC(3). read it, love it, encrypt responsibly 🫶✨🌸
