Re^2: Exchanging md5s between Perl and C

I'm pretty sure that is indeed the cause. Here's a test using md5sum from Perl:

open OUT, '>', 'tempfile';
print OUT 'a';
close OUT;
system('md5sum', '-b', 'tempfile');

Result:

0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661 *tempfile

So yeah, md5sum and Digest::MD5 agree.

It's the OP's other tests that were flawed.

ahhk! thank you very much, yes that was it. I previously had an issue with 32/64 bit and after going round and round until fixed, somewhere along the line I stared chasing my tail overlooking that minor but oh so important detail. cheers for you time! Glad it was as simple as that	[reply]
