README - Digest::MD5 Perl module for using Message-Digest Algorithms


This package contains Perl extension interfaces for the following
message digest algorithms:

  - RSA Data Security Inc. MD5   (RFC 1321)
  - RSA Data Security Inc. MD2   (RFC 1319)
  - NIST SHA-1                   (FIPS PUB 180-1)

Modules to calculate HMAC (RFC 2104) digests are also provided.

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.
