 |   |  I found that if I change $data to "12345678", it works.  How can 
 |   |  I encrypt a string that has more than 8 characters?

 |      You'll want to look at Crypt::CBC which can use many of the other
 |      encryption types found in Crypt::* such as Blowfish.  CBC stands for
 |      Chaining Block Cipher (IIRC). 
 |  
 |      It is because Blowfish is a block cipher that only handles 8 bits at
 |      a time, CBC handles this "chaining" of these 8 byte sections
 |      together for you.
