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. -Copyright 1998-1999 Gisle Aas. -Copyright 1998 Graham Barr. -Copyright 1997 Uwe Hollerbach. -Copyright 1995-1996 Neil Winton. -Copyright 1990-1992 RSA Data Security, Inc. - -This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or -modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Digest-MD5 +- Pete +petef@databits.net |
