Digests in raku

This is a raku module implementing some digest algorithms either in pure raku (no parrot or nqp:: code), or using a process call to the openssl command.

The Digest module also exports a subroutine blob-to-hex to turn a blob into a hexadecimal string representation.

Synopsis

use Digest::SHA;
say sha1   "hello";
say sha256 "Привет"; 

use Digest::RIPEMD;
say rmd160 "bye";

Features

Currently implemented:

• Digest
  • md5
  • blob-to-hex
• Digest::SHA :
  • sha1
  • sha256
  • sha512 (via openssl)
• Digest::RIPEMD :
  • rmd160

PERFORMANCE WARNING: currently, execution is much slower than with most other programming languages.
