in reply to Character Length Requirement & String Conversion

I am looking for something similar to Digest::MD5's md5_hex function.

What is wrong with using md5_hex()? Ignore this! I was thinking of the 16-byte binary representation instead of the 32-byte hex.

When I was looking for something similar, I eventually settled upon the 64-bit FNV1a implementation.

    It is returning 32 characters. The restriction in 19. Perhaps I am missing something with md5_hex()?

    Thanks for your reply!

      Sorry, my brain was in neutral. I've updated my post with: a correction; and a suggestion.
