💖 Net::SS...r::IDEA(3) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the page for Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::IDEA — yes the header up top is all squished and abbreviated, that's just how the manpage title renders, the real name is the full one, promise 🫶 — from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. it's tiny, it's cute, it's important, let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::IDEA — a lil wrapper that gives you SSH IDEA support 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the vibe, copy-paste it exactly, no cap:

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

look at her. three lines. she does so much. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::IDEA is the girl who shows up with IDEA encryption support for Net::SSH::Perl. that's her whole job and she ate 🔥

the way she pulls it off? she wraps around Crypt::IDEA, which is a C/XS implementation of the IDEA algorithm. so like, she's not doing the math herself, she's the glamorous manager, Crypt::IDEA is doing the actual crunching 💪

and the IDEA algorithm used here? it's in CFB filter mode, with a key length of 16 bytes. that's the whole tea. remember it. it's giving specific. 🌈

lowkey obsessed with how short this page is. iconic behaviour honestly.

and that's the whole thing!! 🦋 this page came to you courtesy of perl v5.42.0, dated 2026-01-17, and yes she's filed under that same squished Net::SS...r::IDEA(3) name at the bottom. mwah, bye bestie 💖🎀🌸
