MD5(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation MD5(3)NAMEMD5 - Perl interface to the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
SYNOPSIS
use MD5;
$context = new MD5;
$context->reset();
$context->add(LIST);
$context->addfile(HANDLE);
$digest = $context->digest();
$string = $context->hexdigest();
$digest = MD5->hash(SCALAR);
$string = MD5->hexhash(SCALAR);
DESCRIPTION
The "MD5" module is depreciated. Use "Digest::MD5" instead.
The current "MD5" module is just a wrapper around the "Digest::MD5"
module. It is provided so that legacy code that rely on the old
interface still work and get the speed benefit of the new module.
In addition to the methods provided for "Digest::MD5" objects, this
module provide the class methods MD5->hash() and MD5->hexhash() that do
the same as the md5() and md5_hex() functions provided by
"Digest::MD5".
