Digest-MD5
(2.51)
Easy to use (I use the function interface). I found the docs very helpful when I run into problems with unicode strings. Great module.

HTML-Tidy
(1.54)
I use HTML::Tidy to convert HTML to XHTML, since at the moment it's the best tool for this job.
I found HTML::Tidy a bit of a pain to install, but once that's done it works seamlessly.
Here is the how I do the conversion:
sub _tidy_html
{ my( $html, $options)= @_;
my $TIDY_DEFAULTS= { output_xhtml => 1, # duh!
tidy_mark => 0, # do not add the "generated by tidy" comment
numeric_entities => 1,
char_encoding => 'utf8',
bare => 1,
clean => 1,
doctype => 'transitional',
fix_backslash => 1,
merge_divs => 0,
merge_spans => 0,
sort_attributes => 'alpha',
indent => 0,
wrap => 0,
break_before_br => 0,
};
$options ||= {};
my $tidy_options= { %$TIDY_DEFAULTS, %$options};
my $tidy = HTML::Tidy->new( $tidy_options);
# not clean, but any remaining error will be caught by the XML parsing
$tidy->ignore( type => 1, type => 2 ); # 1 is TIDY_WARNING, 2 is TIDY_ERROR
my $xml= $tidy->clean( $html );
return $xml;
}
