Do any of the Digest:: modules use the same algorithm as the default one used by modern versions of the cksum command? It's unnamed in the man page, but seems to come from ISO 8802, with an implementation given in the August '88 CACM. None of the names looked obviously likely. Digest::CRC does produce the same result as cksum -o 3, but I'm stuck with a bunch of numbers that were generated by cksum with no -o that I want to validate against without having to fork a process each time... -- Mark J.
