perl along with the openssl libraries
<http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/hp_freeware/openssl/>
should allow you to do what you want.

fwiw, perl 5.8.8 is in the process of being packaged for mpe.  it is
supposed to include several encryption modules (although not blowfish,

far towards many of the 'can i do encryption on mpe'.    - d
