Verify the integrity of the files:

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS file as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using

        % pgpk -a KEYS
        % pgpv mod_perl-2.0.10.tar.gz.asc
        or,
        % pgp -ka KEYS
        % pgp mod_perl-2.0.10.tar.gz.asc
        or,
        % gpg --import KEYS
        % gpg --verify mod_perl-2.0.10.tar.gz.asc
        

Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A unix program called md5 or md5sum is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here. An MD5 signature consists of 32 hex characters, and a SHA1 signature consists of 40 hex characters. Ensure your generated signature string matches the signature string published in the files above.
