Computation of info hash not working

Until now, I've always been able to compute the info hash of a .torrent file with a Perl script by decoding the Bencoded file, bencoding the 'info' key and computing the sha1 hash of the bencoded 'info' section. This doesn't work for .torrent files that I created using qBittorrent 4.4.0. Has something changed? How do I compute the info hash? This is very important to me; I use this to determine which folders are shared, which .torrent files are now unused, etc. so that I can keep torrent files and folders organized. Thanks.
