SYNOPSIS
package Digest::Foo;
use base 'Digest::base';
DESCRIPTION
The "Digest::base" class provide implementations of the
methods "addfile" and "add_bits" in terms of "add", and of
the methods "hexdigest" and "b64digest" in terms of "dig-
est".
Digest implementations might want to inherit from this class
to get this implementations of the alternative add and dig-
est methods. A minimal subclass needs to implement the fol-
lowing methods by itself:
new
clone
add
digest
The arguments and expected behaviour of these methods are
described in Digest.
