in reply to Accessing individual bytes of a binary file as numerical values
"...quite astonished at the apparent requirement to checksum a 'window'...calculate a checksum on the whole file..." (Marshall)
#MeToo. Probably this is yet another sick assignment by some sick professor?
For a more serious/practical use of checksums you might be happier using digest from Path::Tiny:
my $object = path($file)->digest($algorithm);. The default algorithm is SHA-256.
