Yes, I tend to use external utilities as well; specifically ones which yield the same results on Linux and Windows. If you have any module suggestions for CRC-32 I would be interested in stealing from your experience base. :-)

    Well, there are some CRC modules on the CPAN such as String::CRC32 or Digest::CRC, but I have never installed nor used them. I only very occasionally use these digital signature utilities to check file integrity between VMS and Unix platforms (or different Unix platforms), but I never had to do it on a regular basis.
