what is the correct way to install SHA1 on perl 5.8.0, where do I get it from and how to install it. My sa-learn is stopping at sha1 and I believe this module may not be installed correctly.

A little bit quicker way (IMO):

perl -MDigest::SHA1 -e exit

will test is the module is installed.  Or if you want to know the version:

perl -MDigest::SHA1 -e 'print $Digest::SHA1::VERSION, "\n"'

This will work for most modules.

TIMTOWTDI!

You can test your current install of SHA1 by:

Start perl in debug mode:

User$> perl -d

Then control d (^d) to get to the debug command prompt:

At the debug command prompt:

db1>use Digest::SHA1

At this point if you see an error (or just want to upgrade): 

Go get the latest Digest::SHA1 from the CPAN web site. http://search.cpan.org  

(Don't do this via "perl -MCPAN -e shell" as you may need to reload the Digest::SHA1 module several times)

For Digest::SHA1 do the usual build steps on your machine:

User$> perl Makefile.PL
User$> make
User$> make test
User$> make install

Go back to the perl debugger and re-issue the use command:

db2>use Digest::SHA1

This should now load without error.
