The Digest::SHA distribution now supports computation of digests from
the command line. The bundled `shasum' script mimics the behavior of
`md5sum', and can serve as a drop-in replacement for the latter when the
stronger security of SHA (vs. MD5) is desired.

`shasum' implements all option switches of `md5sum', and includes an
additional one (-a or --algorithm) to indicate which SHA transform to
use. The package supports all algorithms specified in FIPS 180-2 (viz.
SHA-1/224/256/384/512).
