+This module is a Perl-only implementation of the cryptographic cipher block
+chaining mode (CBC). In combination with a block cipher such as DES or IDEA,
+you can encrypt and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. The encrypted
+messages are compatible with the encryption format used by the OpenSSL package.
