in reply to Checksum for Windows

System independent.....

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Digest::MD5 'md5_hex';
undef $/;
open F, $ARGV[0] or die "Usage $0 <file>\n$!\n"; 
binmode F;
print md5_hex(<F>);
close F;

Update

Added binmode for Win32, Mac as suggested by particle

cheers

although i haven't tested, this looks suspiciously like a case where binmode might be necessary.

as it stands, it can also be written as a one-liner, like

perl -000 -MDigest::MD5=md5_hex -ne"$\=md5_hex}{print" your_file_here

note the triple-zero option to undefine the output line seperator.
