IO::Digest(3pm) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   IO::Digest(3pm)

NAME

       IO::Digest - Calculate digests while reading or writing

SYNOPSIS

	use IO::Digest;

	# Get a Digest::MD5 object that takes input while $fh being written or read
	$iod = IO::Digest->new ($fh, 'MD5');

	print $fh "fooo";
	print $iod->hexdigest
