Take 2 (no more one liner and slick like WATANABE's next post) :

require 'digest/md5'
ARGV.each{|f|
begin
    printf("%30s : ",f); puts Digest::MD5.hexdigest(File.read(f)) ;
#            ^^^^^
#  Assuming no file names are lareger than 30 chars
rescue
   puts "....skipping (may be dir or Access denied)"
   next
end
}
