kiat has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks,

In reference to the node On showing the weakness in the MD5 digest function and getting bitten by scalar context by grinder.

I'm using Digest::MD5 to generate unique cookie values as well as for password authentication.

Should I or should I not continue to use Digest::MD5 for those operations? What's the alternative?

Thanks in anticipation :)
