+Digest::SHA version 5.47
+========================
+
+Digest::SHA is a complete implementation of the NIST Secure Hash
+Standard. It gives Perl programmers a convenient way to calculate
+SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 message digests.
+The module can handle all types of input, including partial-byte
+data.
+
+Digest::SHA is written in C for speed. If your platform lacks a
+C compiler, you can install the functionally-equivalent (but much
+slower) Digest::SHA::PurePerl module.
+
+The tests subdirectory (t/*.t) contains an extensive set of SHA
+vectors compiled from various sources.
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+To install this module type the following:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL [ options ]
+ make
+ make test
+ make install
+
+The Makefile.PL options are:
+
+ -t : build a thread-safe version of module
+ -x : exclude support for SHA-384/512
+
+DEPENDENCIES
