Chris,

Thanks for your earlier input.

Unfortunately, I don't have a C compiler for OS9.  (unless I can some-
how convince OSX's Developer tools to do this, which I don't have time
to even think about, right now).

Anyway, I was poking around MacPerl, and then your "cpan-mac-0.50" module,
looking for something else...

I thought I read somewhere on one of the MacPerl mail lists that every-
thing in the "cpan-mac-0.50" module was already included in the MacPerl
5.6.1r2 release.  So, I never bothered to look at it until tonight.

I'm glad I did, because I saw that this module had the following included:

    [...]

    Digest
        HMAC.pm
        HMAC_MD5.pm
        HMAC_SHA1.pm
        MD2.pm
        MD5.pm
        SHA.pm
        SHA1.pm

    [...]

which is the stuff I was looking for.  Only the MD5  digest piece is
included in the clean install of MacPerl 5.6.1r2.

Of course, MacPerl 5.6.1r2 includes a lot of other module file that are
more recently time-stamped than the cpan-mac-0.50 module would have
installed, so I don't want to run cpan-mac-0.50, as I had read earlier.

So the questions in my mind are:

a.) Did the HMAC and SHA-1 modules worked in MacPerl 5.004, or not,
b.) If they did, will they work in MacPerl 5.6.1r2,
c.) Can I manually extract the pieces from cpan-mac-0.50 that were not
    included in MacPerl 5.6.1r2, and realistically expect them to all
    work properly,
d.) Is there an easier way to do this, assuming that b.) is true?


What is the best way to proceed?

Thanks in advance, Taylor
