# NAME

Digest::MD2 - Perl interface to the MD2 Algorithm

# SYNOPSIS

     # Functional style
     use Digest::MD2  qw(md2 md2_hex md2_base64);

     $digest = md2($data);
     $digest = md2_hex($data);
     $digest = md2_base64($data);

     # OO style
     use Digest::MD2;

     $ctx = Digest::MD2->new;

     $ctx->add($data);
     $ctx->addfile(*FILE);

     $digest = $ctx->digest;
     $digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
     $digest = $ctx->b64digest;

# DESCRIPTION

The `Digest::MD2` module allows you to use the RSA Data Security Inc. MD2 Message Digest algorithm from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit ``fingerprint'' or ``message digest'' of the input.

The `Digest::MD2` programming interface is identical to the interface of `Digest::MD5`.
