MD5(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation MD5(3) 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".
