Digest...llbacks(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Digest::MoreFallbacks — bestie, this one's whole job is to give Digest some extra fallbacks in its MMAP table 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Digest::MoreFallbacks;

Digest->new("SHA-1")

okay so literally that's the entire vibe. you load it, and then you just... call Digest->new like you always did. that's it. no cap 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the ✨tea✨ — this module is a little sneaky in the best way. it slips new entries into Digest's algorithm-to-implementation table. like, it's going behind the scenes and adding seating arrangements to the guest list 🎀

and why would it do that, you ask? because the whole intent is to give you better fallback facilities 💚 — meaning when one implementation isn't around, there's a backup ready to step in, and go off 👑

which implementations, specifically? the pure Perl ones:

• Digest::SHA::PurePerl
• Digest::MD5

pure Perl, bestie!! no compiled extension required, just vibes and interpretation 🧚

and it also helps out modules that didn't bother to follow the ✨naming convention✨. like, Crypt::RIPEMD160? that one would have totally worked if it had just been named Digest::RIPEMD160 😭. tragic. iconic of it honestly. so this module handles that mess for you and makes it usable anyway 💜

lowkey if you've ever tried to Digest->new something and gotten nothing but silence and sadness, this is the module that goes "not today" and fixes the roster 🫶
