Chris,

Perl makes this straightforward and platform independent!

On the Linux side (showing my bias towards RedHat & its clones)

perl-Crypt-CBC
-----------
CBC -- cipher block chaining
this module is a wrapper for the block ciphers and will help control
padding and key derivation (via hashing)

block ciphers include
perl-Crypt-Rijndael  (aka AES)
perl-Crypt-3DES
perl-Crypt-Blowfish
perl-Crypt-DES_EDE3

the names I show are redhat package names and map to CPAN like this.

perl-Crypt-Blowfish ->  Crypt::Blowfish

on Fedora and Centos my names can be directly used in calls to YUM.

On the Win32 side, you can use CPAN or better yet
