MD5 is a pretty old hash format and hasn't been considered especially secure for about a decade.

Module::Signature switched to SHA256 about five years ago, so switching to that too might be a good idea. Especially as this means that any recent CPAN distributions packaged with Module::Signature in mind will include a SIGNATURE file (an example!) GPG-signed by the author, listing the SHA256 hashes for every file in the distribution including all modules.
