CHANGES
    Version 0.05 had a few missing subroutine bodies, so quite a few things
    didn't work!  I'm now practising what I preach, and have written some tests!

INTERNALS
    "Crypt::Simple" is really just a wrapper round a few other useful Perl
    modules: you may want to read the documentation for these modules too.

    We use "FreezeThaw" to squish all your data into a concise textual
    representation. We use "Compress::Zlib" to compress this string, and
    then use "Crypt::Blowfish" in a home-brew CBC mode to perform the
    encryption. Somewhere in this process we also add a MD5 digest (using
    "Digest::MD5"). Then we throw the whole thing through "MIME::Base64" to
    produce a nice bit of text for you to play with.

    Decryption, obviously, is the reverse of this process.

WARNING
    Governments throughout the world do not like encryption because it makes
    it difficult for them to look at all your stuff. Each country has a
    different policy designed to stop you using encryption: some governments
