To make this even more simpler to understand, here is a module, called, "CheckSum.pm": 

 
package MOJO::MailingList::Schedules::CheckSum; 
sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my %args = (@_); 
       my $self = {};                 
       bless $self, $class;
       return $self;
}

use Digest::MD5;
    
sub checksum { 
    my $self = shift; 
    my $data = shift; 
    
        my $ctx = Digest::MD5->new; 
        return $ctx->md5_hex("foobarbaz");
} 

1;

[download]

(NOTE: it will always make the checksum from "foobarbaz" )Here is a script that tests this module: 

 

require MOJO::MailingList::Schedules::CheckSum;     
my $cs = MOJO::MailingList::Schedules::CheckSum->new(); 
print $cs->checksum("foobarbaz") ."\n";

[download]

That script prints out, "d79e1dc81fb80407e0824bf7854b7544",

When almost the exact code is put into another script: 

 
sub create_checksum { 

    my $self = shift; 
    my $data = shift; 
require MOJO::MailingList::Schedules::CheckSum; 
my $cs = MOJO::MailingList::Schedules::CheckSum->new(); 
return $cs->checksum("foobarbaz") ."\n";
}

[download]

this returns all sorts of things, a few of the checksums I've received:

203156774c6b5b2300971c5abed8f0d6
46b8a55039b48cac0955106b0987a3d
6f0e7e2d63ce536cc381698a9f6a9524

I'm pretty stumped on why I'm receiving this. Oy.. It must be because of something else in that module, but what? and why? Again, I would post the module, but it's almost 800 lines long and the script that calls it is 1500.
