Please add this text to the description: The MD5 module is depreciated. Use Digest::MD5 instead. The current MD5 module is just a wrapper around the Digest::MD5 module. It is provided so that legacy code that rely on the old interface still work and get the speed benefit of the new module. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.
