Digest::SHA1 weirdness

2005-11-16 Thread Wiswell, Virginia
Has anyone else ever experienced inconsistencies in digest creation using the same plaintext? I am encrypting passwords with Digest::SHA1's sha1_hex function and storing them in a db. When someone logs in, I take the password, encrypt it the same way and then compare it with the stored digest.
