    $CAUTION
        Setting the global variable $CAUTION causes updatedir() to report
        changes of files in the attributes "size", "mtime", "md5", or
        "md5-ungz" to STDERR.

    $TRY_SHORTNAME
        By setting the global variable $TRY_SHORTNAME to a true value, you
        can tell updatedir() to include an attribute "shortname" in the
        resulting hash that is 8.3-compatible. Please note, that updatedir()
        in this case may be slow and may even fail on large directories,
        because it will always only try 1000 iterations to find a name that
        is not yet taken and then give up.

    $SIGNING_KEY
        Setting the global variable $SIGNING_KEY makes the generated
        "CHECKSUMS" file to be clear-signed by the command specified in
        $SIGNING_PROGRAM (defaults to "gpg --clearsign --default-key "),
        passing the signing key as an extra argument. The resulting
        "CHECKSUMS" file should look like:

            0&&<<''; # this PGP-signed message is also valid perl

Setting the global variable $CAUTION causes updatedir() to report
changes of files in the attributes C<size>, C<mtime>, C<md5>, or
C<md5-ungz> to STDERR.

=item $TRY_SHORTNAME

By setting the global variable $TRY_SHORTNAME to a true value, you can
tell updatedir() to include an attribute C<shortname> in the resulting
hash that is 8.3-compatible. Please note, that updatedir() in this
case may be slow and may even fail on large directories, because it
will always only try 1000 iterations to find a name that is not yet
taken and then give up.

=item $SIGNING_KEY

Setting the global variable $SIGNING_KEY makes the generated C<CHECKSUMS>
file to be clear-signed by the command specified in $SIGNING_PROGRAM
(defaults to C<gpg --clearsign --default-key >), passing the signing
key as an extra argument.  The resulting C<CHECKSUMS> file should look like:

    0&&<<''; # this PGP-signed message is also valid perl
