NAME

gmd5 - Pure Perl implementation of MD5 hashing

SYNOPSIS

use gmd5 qw(md5 md5_hex);

# Direct hash
my $binary = md5("Hello World");
my $hex = md5_hex("Hello World");

# Streaming hash
my $md5 = gmd5->new;
$md5->add("Hello ");
$md5->add("World");
$hex = $md5->hexdigest;

DESCRIPTION

gmd5 provides a fast and lightweight MD5 hashing library in Pure Perl, with no XS or C dependencies. It supports both one-shot hashing and streaming for large datasets, optimized with efficient buffering and bitwise operations. The implementation is compliant with RFC 1321.

METHODS

new()

Creates a new gmd5 object.

my $md5 = gmd5->new;

add($data)

Adds data to the MD5 computation.

$md5->add("Hello World");

digest()

Returns the binary MD5 digest.

my $binary = $md5->digest;

hexdigest()

Returns the hexadecimal MD5 digest.

my $hex = $md5->hexdigest;

reset()

Resets the MD5 object to its initial state.

$md5->reset;

EXPORTABLE FUNCTIONS

md5($data)

Computes the binary MD5 digest of $data.

my $binary = md5("Hello World");

md5_hex($data)

Computes the hexadecimal MD5 digest of $data.

my $hex = md5_hex("Hello World");
