   # calculate digest from string/buffer
   $ripemd256_raw  = ripemd256('data string');

   $ripemd256_b64  = ripemd256_b64('data string');
   $ripemd256_b64u = ripemd256_b64u('data string');
   # calculate digest from file
   $ripemd256_raw  = ripemd256_file('filename.dat');

   $ripemd256_b64  = ripemd256_file_b64('filename.dat');
   $ripemd256_b64u = ripemd256_file_b64u('filename.dat');
   # calculate digest from filehandle
   $ripemd256_raw  = ripemd256_file(*FILEHANDLE);
   $ripemd256_hex  = ripemd256_file_hex(*FILEHANDLE);
   $ripemd256_b64  = ripemd256_file_b64(*FILEHANDLE);
   $ripemd256_b64u = ripemd256_file_b64u(*FILEHANDLE);

   ### OO interface:
   use Crypt::Digest::RIPEMD256;

   $d = Crypt::Digest::RIPEMD256->new;
   $d->add('any data');
   $d->addfile('filename.dat');
   $d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);
   $result_raw  = $d->digest;     # raw bytes
   $result_hex  = $d->hexdigest;  # hexadecimal form
   $result_b64  = $d->b64digest;  # Base64 form
   $result_b64u = $d->b64udigest; # Base64 URL Safe form

DESCRIPTION

Provides an interface to the RIPEMD256 digest algorithm.

EXPORT

Nothing is exported by default.

You can export selected functions:

  use Crypt::Digest::RIPEMD256 qw(ripemd256 ripemd256_hex ripemd256_b64 ripemd256_b64u
                                      ripemd256_file ripemd256_file_hex ripemd256_file_b64 ripemd256_file_b64u);

Or all of them at once:

  use Crypt::Digest::RIPEMD256 ':all';

FUNCTIONS

ripemd256

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a binary string.

 $ripemd256_raw = ripemd256('data string');
 #or
 $ripemd256_raw = ripemd256('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

ripemd256_hex

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

 $ripemd256_hex = ripemd256_hex('data string');
 #or
 $ripemd256_hex = ripemd256_hex('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

ripemd256_b64

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding.

 $ripemd256_b64 = ripemd256_b64('data string');
 #or
 $ripemd256_b64 = ripemd256_b64('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

ripemd256_b64u

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a Base64 URL Safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5).

 $ripemd256_b64url = ripemd256_b64u('data string');
 #or
 $ripemd256_b64url = ripemd256_b64u('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

ripemd256_file

Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a binary string.

 $ripemd256_raw = ripemd256_file('filename.dat');
 #or
 $ripemd256_raw = ripemd256_file(*FILEHANDLE);

ripemd256_file_hex

Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

 $ripemd256_hex = ripemd256_file_hex('filename.dat');
 #or
 $ripemd256_hex = ripemd256_file_hex(*FILEHANDLE);

BEWARE: You have to make sure that the filehandle is in binary mode before you pass it as argument to the addfile() method.

ripemd256_file_b64

Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding.

 $ripemd256_b64 = ripemd256_file_b64('filename.dat');
 #or
 $ripemd256_b64 = ripemd256_file_b64(*FILEHANDLE);

ripemd256_file_b64u

Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its RIPEMD256 digest encoded as a Base64 URL Safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5).

 $ripemd256_b64url = ripemd256_file_b64u('filename.dat');
 #or
 $ripemd256_b64url = ripemd256_file_b64u(*FILEHANDLE);
