CRC - Perl interface cyclic redundency check generation

NAME

CRC - Perl interface cyclic redundency check generation

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

This module is not included with the standard ActivePerl distribution. It is available as a separate download using PPM.

SYNOPSIS

    use String::CRC;


    ($crc_low, $crc_high) = crc("some string", 64);
    $crc_binary = crc("some string", 64);
    ($crc_low, $crc_high) = unpack("LL", $crc_binary);
    ($crc_small) = crc("some string", 32);

DESCRIPTION

The CRC module calculates CRC of various lenghts. The default CRC length is 32 bits.

CRCs of 32 bits and smaller will be returned as an integer.

CRCs that are larger than 32 bits will be returned as two integers if called in list context and as a packed binary string if called in scalar context.
