Can't get it to work... :-( perl encoding issue?! (Score:1)

by RGiersig (3217)

I tried the naive approach by simply doing

perl -MDigest::MD5 -e 'print Digest::MD5::md5_hex("rgiersig@cpan.org"), "\n"'

which gives me 42675453fde7b6ee681e9c0ded931c00, but this doesn't work. I tried to verify with

perl -MDigest::MD5 -e 'print Digest::MD5::md5_hex("mschwern@cpan.org"), "\n"'

which gives me 61c2a42ed105748d58b7b2f7ac3cd712, but the article says db1a33946e2a8577b8d3377d0715bf61.

An encoding issue?! BTW, I'm runnign 5.8.8 on Linux...

  Nope. It's your @.
  
  Try instead:
  perl -MDigest::MD5 -e 'print Digest::MD5::md5_hex( q(mschwern@cpan.org) ), "\n"'
  That one got me too :(

    Thanks! :-)
    
    So now I hope that my gravatar [gravatar.com] will result in less people contacting me with support issues... ;-)
