How are the contents of the document being read in ?
Sounds like perhaps you need to be using:
       $cipher->start('encrypting');
       $cipher->start('decrypting');

(perldoc crypt::cbc)

You might find examples included in the crypt::cbc tarball from cpan
(http://search.cpan.org), or the test suite it contains might contain some
useful code. (You miss out on all of that stuff when you install with ppm.)

I ran your scripts (with the xml stuff removed from the server script) and
they worked fine.

Perhaps there's a problem with the xml parsing/encoding ?

Hth.
