<h2><a name="sig">PGP Signatures</a></h2>

<p>All of the release distribution packages have been digitally signed
(using PGP or GPG) by the Apache Group members that constructed them.
There will be an accompanying <SAMP><EM>distribution</EM>.asc</SAMP> file
in the same directory as the distribution. The PGP keys can be found
at the MIT key repository and within this project's
<a href="https://www.apache.org/dist/perl/KEYS">KEYS file</a>.</p>

<p>Always use the signature files to verify the authenticity
of the distribution, <i>e.g.</i>,</p>

<pre>
% pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv mod_perl-2.0.13.tar.gz.asc
<i>or</i>,
% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp mod_perl-2.0.13.tar.gz.asc
<i>or</i>,
% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify mod_perl-2.0.13.tar.gz.asc
</pre>

<p>We offer SHA256 and SHA512 hashes as an alternative to validate the
integrity of the downloaded files.</p>
