No \| Maybe I don't think there is a Perl module on CPAN explicitly supporting AKAv1-MD5? However maybe you can use an implementation of DIGEST-MD5 SASL. (Isn't AKA a derivative of/identical to this?). Look on CPAN for SASL implementations. HTH Out of curiosity: Why is MD5 not good enough for you? Update There are some open source implementations around, e.g. this one in C: pjsip.org	[reply]

Isn't AKA a derivative of/identical to this? From a quick glance over the RFC it seems that AKAv1 is just a specific way to concatenate the strings and then do a regular MD5 calculation. If this is true, it shouldn't be all that hard to write it yourself.	[reply]

Hi Dharry Many many thanks for your reply. I have visited pjsip.org. There i have found the module related to the Akv1-MD5.But it is in C-language. I have downloaded that module.But where to keep that module, can i place it in my perl lib (or to install it). How i can use that module in my perl program. Plz suggest. Regd's Sanjay	[reply]

You should learn perlxs. XS is an interface description file format used to create an extension interface between Perl and C code (or a C library) which one wishes to use with Perl. perlxstut is a good starting point. -- No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them.

The code is in the C language. Perl is not C. You will need to translate the code from the C language into equivalent code in the Perl language.	[reply]

I found Inline fairly straightforward to use.	[reply]
