perl-Digest-Perl-MD5

Perl implementation of Ron Rivests MD5 Algorithm

This modules has the same interface as the much faster 'Digest::MD5'. So you can easily exchange them, e.g. BEGIN { eval { require Digest::MD5; import Digest::MD5 'md5_hex' }; if ($@) { # ups, no Digest::MD5 require Digest::Perl::MD5; import Digest::Perl::MD5 'md5_hex' } } If the 'Digest::MD5' module is available it is used and if not you take 'Digest::Perl::MD5'. You can also install the Perl part of Digest::MD5 together with Digest::Perl::MD5 and use Digest::MD5 as normal, it falls back to Digest::Perl::MD5 if it cannot load its object files. For a detailed Documentation see the 'Digest::MD5' module.
