NAME
       Digest::MD2 - Perl interface to the MD2 Algorithm

SYNOPSIS
	# Functional style
	use Digest::MD2  qw(md2 md2_hex md2_base64);

	$digest = md2($data);
	$digest = md2_hex($data);
	$digest = md2_base64($data);

	# OO style
	use Digest::MD2;

	$ctx = Digest::MD2->new;

	$ctx->add($data);
	$ctx->addfile(*FILE);

	$digest = $ctx->digest;
	$digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
	$digest = $ctx->b64digest;

DESCRIPTION
       The "Digest::MD2" module allows you to use the RSA Data Security Inc. MD2 Message Digest algorithm from within Perl programs.  The
       algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.

       The "Digest::MD2" programming interface is identical to the interface of "Digest::MD5".
