Subject: Compiling errors when using Digest w/Perl 5.005_03
Noted in Digest-1.08.tar.gz Output of 'make' includes - Manifying blib/man3/Digest.3 /usr/perl5/5.00503/bin/pod2man: bad option in paragraph 51 of Digest.pm: ``pack("B*", C<$bitstring>)'' should be [LCI]<pack("B*", C<$bitstring>)> Manifying blib/man3/Digest::base.3 /usr/perl5/5.00503/bin/pod2man: Digest/base.pm is missing required section: SYNOPSIS SYNOPSIS in Digest/base.pm is misspelled as SYNPOSIS causes this error during make

Workaround - fixed this error by breaking out the code example in the paragraph starting at line 186 of Digest.pm and making it a verbatim paragraph. Now that part of Digest.pm looks like this: The one argument form of add_bits() takes a $bitstring of "1" and "0" chars as argument. It's a shorthand for: $ctx->add_bits(pack("B*", $bitstring), length($bitstring)) Show quoted text

Workaround - SYNOPSIS in Digest/base.pm is misspelled as SYNPOSIS; fixing the spelling got rid of the error.
