NAME
       MD5 - 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".

SEE ALSO
       Digest::MD5
