+ The SHA module allows you to use the NIST SHA message digest algorithm
+ from within Perl programs.
+
+ The final message digest value is returned by the digest operation as a
+ 20-byte binary string. This operation delivers the result of operations
+ since the last new or reset operation. Once the operation has been
+ performed, the context must be reset before being used to calculate
+ another digest value.
