 Hi, can someone explain the reason of the difference.
Here is the piece of the code.

Thanks a lot.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);

$md5 = Digest::MD5->new;

print " md5_hex method: ", $md5->md5_hex("foobarbaz"), "n";
print "md5_hex function: ", md5_hex("foobarbaz"), "n";

$md5->add("foobarbaz");
print " Digest is: ", $md5->hexdigest, "n";

_END_

The output is:
md5_hex method: 4b725d21a782a787b0ff9c1d97cc6e55
md5_hex function: 6df23dc03f9b54cc38a0fc1483df6e21
Digest is: 6df23dc03f9b54cc38a0fc1483df6e21

According to the documentation for this module md5_hex is a function,
it is *not* a method.
