Hi all,

I am trying converting java code to perl code.

-------------------------
BigInteger(byte[] val)
-------------------------
BigInteger
This is Java BigInteger constructor.

Perl Math::BigInt doesn't have a same constructor.
But I should make it and the same Java BigInteger constructor.
How can i do following two code same output.
Is it simple? or very difficult?
I have no idea..

Java
--------------------------------------------
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.math.BigInteger;

public class Hash
{
public static void main( String[] args ) throws Exception
{
MessageDigest md5 = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
String plain = "abcd1234";
BigInteger digest = new BigInteger(md5.digest(plain.getBytes("UTF-8")));

System.out.println( digest.abs() );
}
}
--------------------------------------------
Perl
--------------------------------------------
use Digest::MD5 'md5_hex';
use Math::BigInt;

my $plain = "abcd1234";
my $digest = Math::BigInt::->from_hex(md5_hex $plain);
print $digest, "\n";
--------------------------------------------
