Re: MD5 non ascii file name

This has nothing to do with the filename (though IIRC Digest::MD5 does not support wide characters).

You're not setting $ctx anywhere in that code. You probably should be use()ing strict and warnings.

(though IIRC Digest::MD5 does not support wide characters). That's actually not a Digest::MD5 limitation, but rather a design choice of the MD5 hash algorithm (and most or all other hash algorithm share that limitation). Hash algorithms generally work with binary data, so you'd have to Encode`::encode` the data first.	[reply] [d/l]

You're completely right there. Still it's annoying, though. It would be nice if the Digest::* modules would provide a digest_string() method that would just recode to some inclusive encoding. Yes I do websites in Europe, why do you ask? :-) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
