Well, there's no error logging that I can refer to, but when you try to hexdec these strings (the ones coming in UTF8) no matter how different the strings are, they always return the same digest. Searching around I find this note :
"Perl 5.8 support Unicode characters in strings. Since the MD5 algorithm is only defined for strings of bytes, it can not be used on strings that contains chars with ordinal number above 255. The MD5 functions and methods will croak if you try to feed them such input data:" in the documentation for Digest::MD5 (http://search.cpan.org/author/GAAS/Digest-MD5/MD5.pm). -----Original Message----- From: Josh Chamas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 8:17 PM To: Fernando Munoz Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: UTF8 issue Fernando Munoz wrote: > I'm receiving info that is UTF8 encoded and it is making Digest::MD5 to fail > (I'm using Perl 5.8); is there any way to filter this information using an > ASP object? > What is making Digest::MD5 fail?
