MD5 Peculiaritiesby skazat (Chaplain) |

skazat has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: I'm having a time banging my head on this one... Is there anything that would cause :
From actually giving me different checksum each time it's run? This seems to be what I'm seeing. If I create a small script that calls just this method in this Module, it seems that everything works correctly, but when I call it from a larger (too large to post) script, it gives me a different checksum! The only thing I can fathom is that something in the script is mucking about with something in Perl. The only thing out of the ordinary in the script is that it's calliing many time related functions, time() localtime, etc. Is there anything I should look out for when created Digest::MD5 checksums? I'm on FreeBSD 4.5, perl 5.8, MD5 version 2.22. I've also seen these results using just Digest::Perl::MD5. I'm totally stumped, and I know that this isn't much to go by, but that's my problem too. Is there something I"m just totally missing? I'm not really a green thumb with this Perl thing... Cheers,
