💖 Crypt::PWSafe3::SHA256 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally all about one tiny little module. she's small, she's a wrapper, and she's here to save the day. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Crypt::PWSafe3::SHA256 — the HMAC Helper Class 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, this is a lil helper class, right? she exists to work with SHA256 inside the Digest::HMAC module. that's her whole job. 💅

why does she need to exist at all? because Digest::HMAC requires you to hand it a module as the parameter for the algorithm... but Digest::SHA256 doesn't exist as a module. not a thing. never was. 😭 so we can't just pass that name and vibe.

so this module here is just a wrapper. and here's the iconic part: she does not return an instance of her own. nope. instead she returns an instance of Digest::SHA('SHA-256'). that's it. that's the whole flex. ✨
