That's what I needed to know. My guess part of the little information is because of few problems with mhash. I'm new with FreeBSD with a box here, but my public server is run by an old BSD hacker who is very busy and extremely cautious. But he has not used mhash. He makes me research everything new before addling it. Mhash is required for the new Authorize.net validation scripts using Perl or PHP.
