Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashFile method

Shows how to replace the deprecated HashFile 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 HashFile method is deprecated:

$outData = chilkat::CkByteData->new();
$success = $crypt->HashFile($path,$outData);

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

$crypt->put_EncodingMode("hex_lower");
$hex_hash = $crypt->hashFileENC($path);
