NAME
       MD5 - Perl interface to the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
SYNOPSIS
        use MD5;
        $context = new MD5;
        $context->reset();
        $context->add(LIST);
        $context->addfile(HANDLE);
        $digest = $context->digest();
        $string = $context->hexdigest();
        $digest = MD5->hash(SCALAR);
        $string = MD5->hexhash(SCALAR);
DESCRIPTION
       The "MD5" module is depreciated.  Use "Digest::MD5" instead.
       The current "MD5" module is just a wrapper around the "Digest::MD5"
       module.  It is provided so that legacy code that rely on the old inter-
       face still work and get the speed benefit of the new module.
       In addition to the methods provided for "Digest::MD5" objects, this
       module provide the class methods MD5->hash() and MD5->hexhash() that do
       the same as the md5() and md5_hex() functions provided by
       "Digest::MD5".
