IIRC, perllocal ist just a chronological log of all module 
installations, so that's to be expected.
However, if perllocal shows different installation locations for the two 
versions, the old one may still be there. If it is, remove it.

This question is probably insulting, but - did you remember to fully 
stop and start Apache after installing Digest::MD5?


You could also test Digest::MD5 independently, e.g.:
perl -MDigest::MD5=md5_hex -le 'print md5_hex "foobar"'

Compare the results to some other MD5 implementation, e.g. the MD5() 
function in MySQL.

Well, as a workaround, you could set passwords manually in the DB, 
though I admit it's ugly.

Why is top posting frowned upon?
