MD5 Extension Version 1.5.3

This is a Perl5 extension interface to the RSA Data Security Inc. MD5
Message Digest algorithm. Documentation is in MD5.pod.

To build the extension, unpack this distribution under the ext/
directory of your Perl source distribution, create the Makefile using
'perl Makefile.PL' and do a 'make'.

The mddriver.pl script gives a simple example of how to use the
routines. In particular 'perl mddriver.pl -x' will perform a test of
the routines to see if they produce the expected output. (WARNING: You
should not run this directly in the MD5 directory when using dynamic
linking as on some systems it will dynamically link to object files in
the current directory which may not give the correct behaviour. This is
believed to affect at least AIX and IRIX).

This version fixes the problem with dynamic linking of the module
under Solaris 2.x which happend in releases prior to 1.4. Thanks to Ken
Pizzini (ken@spry.com) for nailing this.
