Math-XOR (0.02)

How does this differ from a normal Perl string XOR?

This is just wrong. From the docs:

"This is the only method of encryption that (assuming the
randomness of the pattern used as an encryption key) truly
cannot be broken."

Well, if you had a "truly" random key the size of your file, then theoretically probably. (See the Snake Oil FAQ at <http://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/snake-oil-faq.html>.)

All it does is xor two buffers together, and doesn't even check if they are different sizes (which will cause some nasty problems).

The namespace is inappropriate, but I wouldn't want to see the Crypt::* namespace polluted with this.
