in reply to Reverse MD5

Do you mean installing the module failed due to failing tests?

If so, try:

$ cpan cpan> force install Digest::MD5::Reverse

This will install it regardless of failed tests. Then, read its documentation and post again if you need help.

Update: there's nothing to it, you just pass an MD5 hash represented with ASCII characters ('A5F218'... instead of "\xa5\xf2\x18") to the reverse_md5() function. A simple script that lets you pass hashes from the command line:

use strict; use warnings; use Digest::MD5::Reverse; die "Usage: $0 <md5 hash in ascii>\n" unless @ARGV; my $md5 = shift; my $plaintext = reverse_md5($md5); print( defined $plaintext ? "$md5\t$plaintext" : "NOTFOUND", "\n" );

The scary thing is I recognized the hash in the docs as being the hash of the string 'foo' without passing it to reverse_md5()... :|
