Re: Digest::MD5 and SHA addfile appear to be clearing the buffer

in reply to Digest::MD5 and SHA addfile appear to be clearing the buffer

Instead of using the filehandle, you could just pass the filename to the addfile() method (such as print "SHA224: ", $sha224->addfile($file, "b")->hexdigest, "\n";), which would let the module handle the details.

Hope that helps.

I just assumed the MD5 and SHA modules took the same parameters, but it appears the MD5 module requires a filehandle where as the SHA module takes either a filehandle or filename. Thanks!	[reply]
