( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Am I missing the something. Just convert the base 64 to hex. The only issue is endianness and you can ignore that if you feel 2**127 is sufficient complexity for the task

use Digest::MD5 qw( md5_hex md5_base64 ); use MIME::Base64; my $string = 'Am I missing something?'; my $hex = md5_hex( $string ); my $b64 = md5_base64( $string ); print "hex: $hex\nb64: $b64\n"; my $bin = decode_base64( $b64 ); my $h1 = join '', unpack "H*", $bin; # high nybble first my $h2 = join '', unpack "h*", $bin; # low nybble first print "h1: $h1\nh2: $h2\n"; # loose one bit of complexity for portablity print "Checksums are the same!\n" if $h1 eq $hex or $h2 eq $hex; __DATA__ hex: 8a4d8b4fa3d19e4e5c0755123b57a109 b64: ik2LT6PRnk5cB1USO1ehCQ h1: 8a4d8b4fa3d19e4e5c0755123b57a109 h2: a8d4b8f43a1de9e4c5705521b3751a90 Checksums are the same!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
