I am working to perform CRC32 on some HEX variables. From the website http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/crc-calculation.html CRC32 for 50020301 (input type HEX) is 0xB5E76785 However, when I'm trying to use "hexdigest" apart of Digest::CRC: 
my $one = "50020301";
$crc = Digest::CRC->new( type => "crc32" ) ;
$crc->add($one);
my $out=$crc->hexdigest();
print "The checksum of $one is $out \n";

The checksum of 1342309121 is 7a9735d9 It seems like Digest::CRC is doing ASCII CRC32. I tried setting: 
$one = 0x50020301;

But then Digest::CRC interprets that as Dec and converts that to HEX, before continuing ASCII CRC32. Can someone give me some suggestions on how to do HEX CRC32?
