HMAC is used for message integrity checks between two parties that share a secret key, and works in combination with some other Digest algorithm, usually MD5 or SHA-1. The HMAC mechanism is described in RFC 2104.

The Digest::HMAC module follow the common Digest:: interface, but the constructor takes the secret key and the name of some other simple Digest:: module as argument.

You will need perl version 5.004 or better to install these modules. The Digest::MD5 module and Digest::SHA1 module must be installed.
