note mitd Quote from [cpan://MD5].pm module readme: <blockquote> <i> This module (MD5.pm) is just a thin wrapper around the Digest::MD5 module. It is provided so that legacy code that rely on the old interface continue to work with the speed benefit of the new module. </i> </blockquote> <p> Bottom line [cpan://Digest::MD5] is now required by MD5.pm if you wish, as you seem to suggest in your question, to use the older (deprecated) MD5.pm. <p> As suggested in prior art abandoning MD5.pm and going straight to Digest::MD5 is highy recommended. <p> <p> <a href="/index.pl?node=mitd&lastnode_id=1072">mitd</a>-Made in the Dark<br> 'Interactive!
