NAME

Digest::Skein - Perl interface to the Skein digest algorithm

SYNOPSIS

use Digest::Skein qw/ digest_512 digest_512_hex /;
my $digest    = digest_512('foo bar baz');
my $hexdigest = digest_512_hex('foo bar baz');

OO interface:

my $digest = Digest::Skein->new(512)->add('foo bar baz')->digest;
my $base64 = Digest::Skein->new(512)->add('foo bar baz')->b64digest;

# using the Digest API
my $hex    = Digest->Skein(256)->add('foo bar baz')->hexdigest
