Regards, BillI'm guessing Crypt_HMAC is superceeded by Crypt_HMAC2; any objections to me marking the package as such?Crypt_HMAC2 is still in beta, though I assume it is reasonable mature and ready for its 1.0 release (there hasn't been any CVS checkins for the past 15 months, and there are no critical bugs). I suggest that Crypt_HMAC isn't marked as superceeded until Crypt_HMAC2 is marked as stable. Otherwise the package is deprecated in favor of a package that is (labeled as) poorer quality.
