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.

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;
