Hi!
In most cases Digest::SHA1 could be replaced by Digest::SHA. Most of
the functionality (except sha1_transform) of Digest::SHA1 is also
provided by Digest::SHA.
Furthermore Digest::SHA is part of the standard perl distribution
since perl v5.9.3 so this reduces the number of external dependencies
by one.
Could you please consider, changing the use of Digest::SHA1 to
Digest::SHA? In Debian Perl Group we have the goal to drop
libdigest-sha1-perl package providing Digest::SHA1 [1].
