# Will answer these questions in time...
# Thank you for your understanding!

• Is there a way to tell My::Crypt to encode the cipher to hexadecimal characters (e.g. 54e98553c4d35700b5dc4aedcc5300ad926fa0e2460daac06ff8a80f5c) instead of base64 so CGI/GET's don't crash without make it CGI safe?
  
  Yes, there is a new optional constructor argument called «encoding» since Version 0.82:
  
  $crypt = My::Crypt->new( encoding => 'hex8' );
  
  See a sample. The encrypt / decrypt method call won't change either. base64 will be kept as the default encoding scheme if you omit this argument for backward compatibilty reasons.
  
  
• Where is My::Crypt used?
  See http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/clearquest/
  ...and others where I'm not sure if I had the permission to mention. If you use it and you're happy, let me know.
