Summer 2003 we got serious about producing portable hashing code
Tested the Digest::SHA1, Digest::MD5 and String::CRC32 modules, found them correct
Hacked a "find2perl" output to produce a completely portable hasher: find2perl . -type f -print
Made this code available to the public
Did not recurse into archive files, though
Had a hard time finding modules to extract .CAB files and a few other formats
Still, got code to run on Linux and Mac, used "wrapper" calls to extraction apps
