How To Install perl-Digest-SHA on CentOS 8

perl-Digest-SHA is Perl extension for SHA-1/224/256/384/512

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Digest-SHA on CentOS 8.

What is perl-Digest-SHA

Digest gives Perl programmers a convenient way to calculate SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256 message digests. The module can handle all types of input, including partial-byte data.

We can use yum or dnf to install perl-Digest-SHA on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install perl-Digest-SHA.

Install perl-Digest-SHA on CentOS 8 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:
