in reply to Trying to install MD5.pm

MD5.pm is simply a wrapper for Digest::MD5 on my machine... Looks like it is there solely for backward compatability. You could just change your code to call Digest::MD5 if its not too much trouble. Otherwise, here is the file /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/MD5.pm on my machine. Perhaps it will work for you as well.
package MD5; # legacy stuff use strict; use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); $VERSION = '2.01'; # $Date: 1999/08/05 23:17:54 $ require Digest::MD5; @ISA=qw(Digest::MD5); sub hash { shift->new->add(@_)->digest; } sub hexhash { shift->new->add(@_)->hexdigest; } 1; __END__ =head1 NAME MD5 - Perl interface to the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm =head1 SYNOPSIS use MD5; $context = new MD5; $context->reset(); $context->add(LIST); $context->addfile(HANDLE); $digest = $context->digest(); $string = $context->hexdigest(); $digest = MD5->hash(SCALAR); $string = MD5->hexhash(SCALAR); =head1 DESCRIPTION The C<MD5> module is B<depreciated>. Use C<Digest::MD5> instead. The current C<MD5> module is just a wrapper around the C<Digest::MD5> module. It is provided so that legacy code that rely on the old interface still work and get the speed benefit of the new module. In addition to the methods provided for C<Digest::MD5> objects, this module provide the class methods MD5->hash() and MD5->hexhash() that basically do the same as the md5() and md5_hex() functions provided by C<Digest::MD5>. =head1 SEE ALSO L<Digest::MD5> =cut
