Rather then explain the patch process, it would be better/simpler to
just install MD5 if you can. I just did a fresh install under Perl 5.8
and have 5.6.1 on my other servers and I have not had to batch any files
in order to get it to work. The error that I got most recently that
indicated I needed MD5 was misleading. The error that was reported via
the server was that the error was in an Apache::Session handler, when in
theory we expect it to die with a "Can't locate Snorkal.pm in @INC...."
error message. This is due, I believe, to the nature in which the
inheritance between the session modules work.
