# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

perl-digest-sha1: perl-digest-sha1 (Perl interface to the SHA-1 algorithm)
perl-digest-sha1:
perl-digest-sha1: The Digest::SHA1 module allows you to use the NIST SHA-1
perl-digest-sha1: message digest algorithm from within Perl programs.
perl-digest-sha1: The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length
perl-digest-sha1: and produces as output a 160-bit "fingerprint" or
perl-digest-sha1: "message digest" of the input.
