Bug #5501 for md5sum-perl: [PATCH] a proposal for md5sum-perl-0.2

The following is a patch for md5sum-perl-0.1 distribution. Its pretension is to make md5sum-perl look more like gnu md5sum 2.0 The following changes are noteworthy. 0.2 Sun Feb 29 19:51 2004 - the checksum file (argument of -c) can contain comments (lines starting by #) - lines in checksum file that don't match the pattern ^\s*([0-9a-fA-F]+)\s+(\*?)(.+) are now silently ignored. This is appropriate for signed MD5SUM files. - --binary is the default on MSDOS and MSWin32 (as in gnu md5sum) - new switch -t (the reverse of -b) for text files - long options like --binary, --text, --verbose and --check now supported in addition to the short forms -b, -t, -v and -c - test scripts introduced (t/01tiny.t, t/01check.t, t/03stdin.t) - test.pl removed - special treatment of reading from stdin which used a reference to mark this special condition was simplified by using "-" as file name The application of the patch is comprised of - unified diff over md5sum-perl (md5sum-perl.diff) - unified diff over MANIFEST (MANIFEST.diff) - unified diff over README (README.diff) - new test scripts: t/01tiny.t, t/02check.t, t/03stdin.t - remove test.pl - include Changes - include META.yml Each one of the these files are contained in the attached zip file.
