-Digest:: MD5, MD2, SHA1 and HMAC
----------------------------------
+The Digest::MD5 module allows you to use the RSA Data Security Inc.
+MD5 Message Digest algorithm from within Perl programs. The
+algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces
+as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
-This is a Perl extension interface to the RSA Data Security Inc. MD5,
-MD2, as well as NIST SHA-1, Message Digest algorithms. This package
-also provide modules which calculate HMAC digests.
+The Digest::MD5 module provide a procedural interface for simple
+use, as well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages
+of arbitrary length and which can read files directly.
-To build the extensions, unpack this distribution somewhere, create
-the Makefile by running 'perl Makefile.PL' and do a 'make', 'make
-test', and if successful 'make install'.
-
-You will need perl version 5.004 or better to install these modules.
Further documentation is embedded in the individual modules.
