SYNOPSIS

 # Functional style use Digest::MD2  qw(md2 md2_hex md2_base64);

 $digest = md2($data); $digest = md2_hex($data); $digest = md2_base64($data);

 # OO style use Digest::MD2;

 $ctx = Digest::MD2->new;

 $ctx->add($data); $ctx->addfile(*FILE);

 $digest = $ctx->digest; $digest = $ctx->hexdigest; $digest = $ctx->b64digest;
