in reply to Creating custom hash of file

So people can check any code they give it would be good to have a standard test file. That is pretty easy to generate as part of your sample code by adding:

open outFile, ">", "test.txt";
print outFile ' ' x 65536;
close outFile;

then change your open to open the test file.

You should also provide the correct calculated value so we know when the calculation is correct.

    testing avi/hash code is on page I gave a link. But Anyway, I did this: 
    open outFile, ">", "test.txt";
print outFile ' ' x (65536 * 4);
close outFile;
#hash is: 08080808080c0000

    I know this hash technique is not strong, but I can't do anything about it. It is same as Media Player Classic is using.
