This module implements the tiger hash, which returns a 192-bit hash value. For more information about the hash: http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~biham/Reports/Tiger/ Usage: use Digest::Tiger; # hash() returns a 192 bit hash my $hash = Digest::Tiger::hash('Tiger') # hexhash() returns a hex representation of the 192 bits... # $hexhash should be 'DD00230799F5009FEC6DEBC838BB6A27DF2B9D6F110C7937' my $hexhash = Digest::Tiger::hexhash('Tiger') This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. Note: as of version 0.02, hexhash() returns a hex digest starting with the least significant byte first. For example: Hash of "Tiger": 0 7 8 15 16 23 DD00230799F5009F EC6DEBC838BB6A27 DF2B9D6F110C7937 Instead of: 7 0 15 8 23 16 9F00F599072300DD 276ABB38C8EB6DEC 37790C116F9D2BDF The print order issue was brought up by Gordon Mohr; Eli Biham clarifies with: "The testtiger.c was intended to allow easy testing of the code, rather than to define any particular print order. ...using a standard printing method, like the one for MD5 or SHA-1, the DD should probably should be printed first [for the example above]". Version 0.03 fixes endian detection for 64-bit Intel machines.
