Chris,

Google for Digest-MD5 and Perl and get to this page:

http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Digest-MD5-2.31/

where you can download the source for the Perl 
module:

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz

and then you can unpack it:

$ mkdir -p ~/tmp/Digest-MD5
$ mv Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz ~/tmp/Digest-MD5/
$ cd ~/tmp/Digest-MD5/
$ tar xzvf Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz

then proceed to compile and test the module:

$ cd Digest-MD5-2.31/
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test

and if everything goes well, install the module
(as root):

$ su
$ make install
$ exit

That is the process, and if you do that you 
can address problems with the module 
easier that you can do so when using the 
CPAN module. The CPAN module makes 
everything fast and easy, and for that 
reason alone you should tread cautiously. 
;-)

Good luck,

Troy

Well, I'm not sure how to do that. If I use "perl -MCPAN -eshell" and
then
"install Digest::MD5" the same thing happens.

Thanks for the information, but the perldoc is huge, and I don't have
time
to learn everything. I found a few Config.pm and MyConfig.pm files,
but
nothing seemed to have a "installman1" or anything like it.

Makefile.PL is used to build Makefile (it says "Writing Makefile for
Digest::MD5") and then the make error appears.

  CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GA/GAAS/Digest-MD5-2.31.tar.gz

Testing alignment requirements for U32... no restrictions
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Digest::MD5
Makefile:84: *** missing separator.  Stop.
  /usr/bin/make -j3 -- NOT OK

Any other ideas or pointers where to look?
Chris
