NAME
       Digest::MD2 - Perl interface to the MD2 Algorithm

SYNOPSIS
        # Functional style
        use Digest::MD2  qw(md2 md2_hex md2_base64);

        $digest = md2($data);
        $digest = md2_hex($data);
        $digest = md2_base64($data);

        # OO style
        use Digest::MD2;

        $ctx = Digest::MD2->new;

        $ctx->add($data);
        $ctx->addfile(*FILE);

        $digest = $ctx->digest;
        $digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
        $digest = $ctx->b64digest;

DESCRIPTION
       The "Digest::MD2" module allows you to use the RSA Data Security Inc.
       MD2 Message Digest algorithm from within Perl programs.  The algorithm
       takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a
       128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.

       The "Digest::MD2" programming interface is identical to the interface
       of "Digest::MD5".
