OK, that's easy, then.  Just check for 86 and 88  characters for the
non-padded and padded variant of the base64 digest.

The scripts just set up the environment and then call to Perl.  It's

Again, the origin of those scripts was a different task, so I'd like to
spend some time on discussion of the feature set you're envisioning for
this.

I'll do that, but expect no comment before Perl 5.22 gets out the door.
