Subject: decrypt string padding
When decrypting an encrypted string the string is padded with several spaces. I'm trying to use to decrypt a database password.

Er, the docs say: encrypt3 $plaintext, $passphrase Encrypts the plaintext string using the passphrase. Whitespace characters are appended to the string if its length is not a multiple of eight. User applications can correct for this by storing plaintext size with the cyphertext. so its a feature.
