MD5 Hash a String (such as a password string)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to MD5 hash a string to get MD5 hash in hex encoded string representation. (The MD5 hash is 16 bytes, and therefore a hex encoded MD5 hash would be 32 chars.) Perl

use chilkat();

$password = "myPassword";

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("md5");
$crypt->put_EncodingMode("hex");
$md5Hex = $crypt->hashStringENC($password);
print "MD5 hash (as a hex string) = " . $md5Hex . "\r\n";

# The hex string will be uppercase.  Your application
# can easily convert it to lowercase if desired via non-Chilkat means.
