In the module:

/usr/nas/pkg/perl/5.6.1-IP35/lib/5.6.1/IP35-irix/Digest/MD5.pm:

There is a line,
"
require Digest::Perl::MD5;
"

which does not work because there does not seem to be a Digest::Perl::MD5
anywhere in the /usr/nas/pkg/perl/5.6.1-IP35 tree.

When our code runs either of these snippets:

<snippet #1>
require Digest::MD5;
</snippet #1>

- OR-

<snippet #2>
use lib '/usr/nas/pkg/perl/5.6.1-IP35/lib/5.6.1/IP35-irix';
use Digest::MD5;
</snippet #2>

it bombs with this error message:


Can't locate loadable object for module Digest::MD5 in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/nas/pkg/perl/5.6.1-IP35/lib/5.6.1/IP35-irix /usr/nas/pkg/perl/5.6.1-IP35/lib/5.6.1


In Digest:MD5.pm, I added some print statements:


eval {
    Digest::MD5->bootstrap($VERSION);
};
print "HERE\n";
if ($@) {
    my $olderr = $@;
    eval {
        # Try to load the pure perl version
print "NOW HERE\n";
		require Digest::Perl::MD5;
print "AND NOW HERE\n";
^^^^^^^
The last print statement did not get executed.

It is possible I am missing something obvious...but
other people are reporting the same problem, on different
sites. This seems to be occurring  on the SGI Origin 3000's
at least, if not other machines.
