in reply to Bundling Digest::MD5 with a distributed application?

Note that the pure-perl version of Digest::MD5 is a seperate distribution called Digest::Perl::MD5, which you can copy around like any other pure-perl module. Also CGI.pm has been a core module since at least perl 5.004.

You should not remove the architecture dependend directory tree, unless there's really nothing in there.

You could take a look at the PAR module, which can make a bundle automatically (though not always without problems).

    CGI.pm is something I do bundle in - if not for the reason that certain versions of the CGI.pm module have bugs in it - if I know which version I'm targeting, I know how it will act - any quirks, etc.

    Digest::Perl::MD5 seems to be exactly what I'm looking for - but it seems like its own docs are incorrect (in the synopsis at least) - it's namespace *is* Digest::Perl::MD5, and not Digest::MD5.

    Other bundled modules, like CGI::Session, HTML::Template::Expr(?) that need Digest::MD5 won't find Digest::Perl::MD5.
