Hi, I have been developing a Perl project that I plan to use on a public server. Since I do not have root to that server, I cannot install extra Perl modules using a perl -MCPAN -e; install somemodule to include extra modules. Therefore, I decided to create a seperate directory within my project directory and use a use lib 'somepath' statement to use my custom modules directory. Now to the problem. One of the modules that I am using is the Digest::MD5 module. I notieced that one of the files that it installs is a binary file. (to install this module, I did do a perl -MCPAN -e; install Digest::MD5 on my computer and then moved all of the files that pertained to the MD5 module to my custom directory). I noticed that one of the files from the CPAN install was a binary file named MD5.so and is compiled for an Intel 80386. I however, need to be able to place this program on an UltraSparc, so this type of binary will not work. Does anyone know of a similar module that I could use for MD5 hashes that doesn't involve a binary file or, if no such thing exists, does anyone know how to manually compile a perl module for a different architecture (without using the nice perl -MCPAN installer)? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Have a nice day, Joe
