Here's the README for a Des extension module for Perl5:
-------------------------------- cut here --------------------------------
Des-perl-a1.tar.gz is the alpha1 release of the Des extension module
for Perl5. If you have the 5.000 release of perl5, then you'll need to
get a newer version of the ExtUtils::MakeMaker extension which is used
to convert the extension's Makefile.PL into a Makefile.
The Des extension provides a perl interface to a DES library. You need a
DES library to link against, of course. If you want a good implementation
(or don't have a DES library already), then I can recommend "the Australian
libdes" (Eric Young's implementation) available for anonymous ftp from
(amongst other places) ftp.ox.ac.uk in /pub/crypto/DES/libdes.tar.93-10-08.gz.

Availability: anonymous ftp from ftp.ox.ac.uk in /pub/perl/Des-perl-a1.tar.gz.
