Yes! This is the exact answer that I was looking for when I made the question. Thanks to you, Khen1950fx

After finding out that the Digest module can't do crc32 without an extra installation from the CPAN, I thought there is a very strong chance that there is another core module that can do it, since crc is so popular and such a common thing to do.

So, I questioned here to find out what the module that is, and I was just keep being admised to use CPAN for this until Khen1950fx come and enlighten me that Compress::Zlip can actually do it!

Just as you see from how this thread went, Some people are way too fanatic about CPAN usage. Sure, CPAN has its own goodness, and re-inventing wheel sucks... But what's the point of borrowing a wheel from CPAN if there is already a perfect wheel siting at your core house, like the one mentioned above here? CPAN is just one of the ways, and not the only way. Hope some people understand this....
