CGI::A...er::md5(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so bestie, this is the manual page for CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Filter::md5, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation — and it is literally the MD5 filter. Main character energy for a tiny module, honestly. ✨

🧚 METHODS 🧚

💅 filter ( (hex base64 binary), $string )

This one generates an MD5 hash of the string in the requested format. By default, hex encoding is used. Slay.

my $filtered = $class->filter('base64', 'foobar'); # OFj2IjCsPJFfMAxmQxLGPw

-or-

my $filtered = $class->filter(undef, 'foobar'); # 3858f62230ac3c915f300c664312c63f

🎀 check ( (hex base64 binary), $string, $md5 )

This one generates an MD5 hash of the string and compares it against the MD5 string you provided. If no encoding type is specified, the length of the MD5 string gets tested to see what format it is in. No cap.

if ($class->check(undef, 'foobar', '3858f62230ac3c915f300c664312c63f')) {
    # they match
}
