How would I integrate code within a module into main code?

[bluetac]

Hi

I need to use the Digest::SHA1 encryption and decryption functions in some code that i am writing, but unfortunately it isn't installed on the server where my perl script will eventually run.

I am trying (unsuccesfully) to integrate a local copy I have of the Sha1 perl module into my main script, so it wont have to rely on the perl module on the server.

Does anyone have some tips to point me in the right direction? Heres what the perl module Digest::SHA1 looks like


package Digest::SHA1;

use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT_OK);

$VERSION = '1.02'; # $Date: 1999/08/05 22:58:42 $

require Exporter;
*import = \&Exporter::import;
@EXPORT_OK = qw(sha1 sha1_hex sha1_base64);

require DynaLoader;
@ISA=qw(DynaLoader);
Digest::SHA1->bootstrap($VERSION);

*reset = \&new;

1;

Hi there Andres,

Two questions:

1) Why can't you install the module on the target server?

2) If you're not allowed to - are you aware that you can install a local copy of the module - by installing it in the same directory that your script will run in. Mike
