SYNOPSIS

        md5_sum.pl [options]

DESCRIPTION

This program does the same thing as the famous md5sum(1) but only in perl. The reason is for greater command line flexibility, code sharing (the md5 calculation is shared by all perl modules as it is implemented in a single module) and cleanliness.
