Digest::MD5::Perl 1.8

Digest::MD5::Perl is a Perl implementation of Ron Rivests MD5 Algorithm. This is not an interface (like Digest::MD5) but a Perl implementation of MD5. It is written in perl only and because of this it is slow but it works without C-Code. You should use Digest::MD5 instead of this module if it is available. This module is only usefull for computers where you cannot install Digest::MD5 (e.g. lack of a C-Compiler) encrypting only small amounts of data (less than one million bytes). I use it to hash passwords. educational purposes SYNOPSIS # Functional style use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64); $hash = md5 $data; $hash = md5_hex $data; $hash = md5_base64 $data; # OO style use Digest::MD5; $ctx = Digest::MD5->new; $ctx->add($data); $ctx->addfile(*FILE); $digest = $ctx->digest; $digest = $ctx->hexdigest; $digest = $ctx->b64digest;.
