This is not homework and I didn't have a code sample as I was trying to find a way to do this. I have the bits already concatenated. I have a hex MD5hash of the concatenated string.

You gave me the thought to use a Solaris like SUM of the string. So I did this:

$pinc=join("$data1","$data2","$data3");
$digest2 = md5_hex($pinc);
$pin=unpack("%32C*",$digest2) % 65535;

print "[$pinc],[$digest2],[$pin]";

and I get:

[be256d5090d0875e7812428991d70026]
[1961]

This seems to work.

Do you have an opinion on this?

Thanks!
