Maybe you want to save secret information to a text file. Maybe you have better ideas of what to do with encrypted stuff! . The Crypt::Simple module will convert all your data into nice base64 text that you can save in a text file, send in an email, store in a cookie or web page, or bounce around the Net. The data you encrypt can be as simple or as complicated as you like.
