I'm trying to use the (Perl) crypto software available from
http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/rsa/ with a FreeBSD 2.1
and Perl 5.003 system. Encryption appears to work,
but when decrypting the program just "hangs" until
I control-C out. 

Is anyone using the Perl (RSA) crypto program? Is the problem
with FreeBSD 2.1's dc program?
