Hi all!

i need to use the Digest::Nilsimsa module for a project i'm doing, so i installed it ok, but when i tried running it i kept getting error messages about the script segfaulting... (ran it on perl 5.6.1 on a debian machine)

thing is, i need to know if the module works ok as i've a meeting with my supervisor later on today... is there some kind person out there who could try the code on their machine and tell me if they get a more successful result? would help to know if the problem is my machine rather than the code!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use Digest::Nilsimsa;

my $text = "this is a test string. hopefully it will produce a nilsims
+a code.";

my $nilsimsa = Digest::Nilsimsa;

my $digest = $nilsimsa->text2digest($text);

print "digest code is : " . $digest . "\n";
