HMAC::MD5 v0.01 has been uploaded to PAUSE and should be available
on CPAN in a few days.  It is also available at:

http://postmaster.net/~clintdw/src/HMAC-MD5-latest.tar.gz

Since postmaster.net is having DNS problems, try:
http://204.71.106.24/~clintdw/src/HMAC-MD5-latest.tar.gz

Given a key, HMAC MD5 computes a digest.  It is believed to
be stronger than plain MD5.  See RFC 2104 and 1321 for
details.

Newer protocols (like CHAP auth in SOCKS v5) require HMAC MD5
instead of regular MD5.

Regards,
Clinton
