Digest::MD5::Perl - Perl implementation of Ron Rivest's MD5 Algorithm

This is not an interface (like Digest::MD5) but a Perl implementation
of MD5. It is written in perl only and because of this it is slow but
it works without C-Code. You should use Digest::MD5 instead of this
module if it is available. This module is only useful for

    computers where you cannot install Digest::MD5 (e.g. lack of a
    C-Compiler)

    hashing only small amounts of data (less than one million bytes).
    I use it to hash passwords.

    educational purposes

This is a dependency of perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel
