Hi there,

I am trying to install MD5.pm as I need to be able to use MD5; in one of my programs. However, I can't seem to seem to find what I should be downloading and installing.

Looking on CPAN I see Crypt-HCE_MD5-0.60, Digest-Perl-MD5-1.5 and Digest-MD5-2.16.

Now I remember from doing this before that it's not Crypt-HCE_MD5, but Digest-Perl-MD5 has apparently given me .../site_perl/5.6.1/Digest/Perl/MD5.pm and Digest-MD5 has apparently given me .../site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux-thread/Digest/MD5.pm but nowhere do I have just MD5.pm in a directory which is by default part of @INC.

What am I missing here? <pfx
