Docs Example Fails #40

Closed librasteve closed 5 months ago

librasteve commented 5 months ago

this example from the raku docs...

use Digest::MD5;
my $password = "password123";
my $hashed-password = Digest::MD5.new.md5_hex($password);

say $hashed-password;

fails with 

~/scum > raku scum.raku
You cannot create an instance of this type (Digest::MD5)
  in block <unit> at scum.raku line 4

we are using this to install...

zef install Digest::MD5

pulls from Digest

Looks like a package name resolution issue that was discussed some time ago. It was messy but I thought this was resolved. I can't help much, as I'm not familiar with zef and other package management systems.

I'm willing to rename this repo appropriately though if someone suggests better names.

please see this comment over on zef https://github.com/ugexe/zef/issues/558 ...

Actually this issue arose in the rakuguide examples, not raku docs

Here's the fix PR https://github.com/hankache/rakuguide/pull/231

I guess it's the Module (Sub-modul) name clash of the below modules... both provide MD5 as they offer use Digest::MD5;

Rename options could be (?):

https://github.com/cosimo/perl6-digest-md5 wasn't updated for many years. Not sure it this is ++$good or --$bad. Maybe someone could do some tests with both MD5 implementations and, depending on performance and functionality we, aka ZEF, has to decide for one and ditch the other...
