| Subject: | Export Issue and Dynamic Loading |
I know this is more of an informational note than a bug report, but I
feel that some people might find the following information useful.
When converting from using Digest::SHA to using Digest::SHA::PurePerl, I
got errors stating that sha512_base64, sha384_base64, etc are not
exported. This can be fixed by copying the @EXPORT_OK lines from the
Digest::SHA module into the PurePerl version.
Additionally, as this is a pure perl module, you would expect that it
could be used on systems not having dynamic loading enabled (such as
microperl), however this is not the case by default, due to the use of
FileHandle, which in turn uses some IO modules that require dynamic
loading. If you do not need the dump and load functions, they can be
removed along with the 'use FileHandle' line to allow this to run
without any dynamic loading. By making these changes I am able to
successfully run this module under microperl.
