This is a perl6 module implementing some digest algorithms in pure Perl6 (no parrot or nqp:: code). The interface is minimal: functions only return Blob and only take a Blob as argument. It's up to the user to turn it into an hex string if he needs to. use Digest::SHA; say my $sha256 = sha256 "hello".encode: 'ascii'; use Digest::RIPEMD; say rmd160 "bye".encode: "ascii"; sub buf_to_hex { [~] $^buf.list».fmt: "%02x" } say buf_to_hex $sha256; Currently implemented: * Digest - md5 * Digest::SHA : - sha256 - sha1 * Digest::RIPEMD : - rmd160 This work is published under the terms of the artistic license, as rakudo is.
