Net::SS...:AES_CTR(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so this is Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES — the base class that handles AES support in CTR (counter) mode. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's a base class, it's AES, it's CTR, she's iconic 💅

(also if you're looking for the actual manual page name, it's Net::SS...:AES_CTR(3) — yes the truncation is doing numbers, don't ask 🫶)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher;
my $cipher = Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher->new('AES128_CTR', $key);
print $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);

literally that's it. make a cipher, hand her a $key, get your $plaintext encrypted and printed. slay. 🔥

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES_CTR provides the AES CTR encryption base class support for Net::SSH::Perl. she's the foundation, the blueprint, the main character energy that the actual AES CTR ciphers get built on top of. no cap. 👑

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

hey! so the document above had some coding errors, and here's the breakdown, bestie:

Around line 61:

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

so the email got wrapped in an E<...> formatting code and the POD parser was like "girl what is this" 💀 it's giving typo energy, but it's also in the record, so we keep it. we don't hide the lore. 🙈

okay that's the whole page, you're officially educated ✨

this was served up by perl v5.42.0, dated 2026-01-17 — so like, screenshot it, cite it, put it in the group chat, and remember: AES CTR base class support for Net::SSH::Perl. love that for you. bye bestie 💖🎀🦋
