Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashString method

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

use chilkat();

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

$crypt->put_Charset("utf-8");

$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("sha256");

$inputStr = "This is a test.";

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The HashString method is deprecated:

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

$success = $crypt->HashString($inputStr,$outData);

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

$crypt->put_EncodingMode("base64");
$hash_base64 = $crypt->hashStringENC($inputStr);

print $hash_base64 . "\r\n";
