The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: String::CRC::Cksum DSLIP: bdpfp description: Calculate checksums like POSIX cksum program userid: AHAMM (Andrew Hamm) chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc) communities: comp.lang.perl.modules
similar: String::CRC String::CRC32 rationale: The distinction between String::CRC* and this module is, the other modules do not calculate a checksum identically to the cksum program. This module allows programmers to calculate checksums on the fly which can be verified at the receiving end using just the cksum program; alternatively, programmers can use this module to verify checksums which have been supplied from the cksum program. enteredby: AHAMM (Andrew Hamm) enteredon: Mon Oct 27 00:53:02 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: String::CRC:: ::Cksum bdpfp Calculate checksums like POSIX cksum program AHAMM Thanks for registering, -- The PAUSE PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=8f400000_20eb8520f2f14274&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=8f400000_20eb8520f2f14274&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
