+This is Crypt::CBC, a Perl-only implementation of the cryptographic
+cipher block chaining mode (CBC). In combination with a block cipher
+such as Crypt::DES or Crypt::IDEA, you can encrypt and decrypt
+messages of arbitrarily long length. The encrypted messages are
+compatible with the encryption format used by SSLeay.
+
+In addition to this module you will need to install the MD5 module,
+and one or more of the Crypt::DES, Crypt::IDEA, or Crypt::Blowfish
+modules.
