This distribution provide version 0.01 of the Digest::SHA1 module. It is a very simple adaptor for Uwe Hollerbach's SHA.pm module that make it conform to the common Digest:: module interface. It is currently needed to make the Digest::HMAC_SHA1 module distributed in the Digest-MD5 distribution work. The plan is that Uwe will provide a real Digest::SHA1 implementation soon, and make SHA.pm be "emulated" instead. This module will go away then. See also L and L found in the Digest-MD5 distribution. -- Gisle Aas
