Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashBytes method

Shows how to replace the deprecated HashBytes method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) Perl

use chilkat();

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("sha256");

$path = "c:/someDir/example.dat";

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The HashBytes method is deprecated:

$inData = chilkat::CkByteData->new();
$inData->loadFile($path);

$outData = chilkat::CkByteData->new();

$success = $crypt->HashBytes($inData,$outData);

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Workaround.
#  (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

$bdIn = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$bdIn->LoadFile($path);

$crypt->put_EncodingMode("base64");
$base64_hash = $crypt->hashBdENC($bdIn);
