This is another random but potentially useful program I wrote called pJournal (Private Journal).
It's a stand-alone script which, when run for the first time, prompts for you to provide a password key for your journal, and uses Archive::Tyd to create your journal file. Your password is needed later in order to decode your journal and make changes to it.
It also has some (relatively weak) hacker prevention built in. You can configure how many times your password can be entered incorrectly, and how many minutes to block your journal when they run out of tries. It uses an INI file to save these details, though, so it's not going to stop somebody from disabling the blocking mechanisms and continuously guessing your password.
It needs these other Perl modules:
- Archive::Tyd (which needs Crypt::CipherSaber)
- Config::IniFiles
- Time::Format
- Tk library
