* Update search.cpan.org WWW: entries to have a trailing slash.Bill Fenner2006-02-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Change some URLs from author dirs to dist dirs. The example in the porter's handbook didn't have the trailing slash; mea culpa for not having caught that when it went in. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=156536
* Digest::Pearson::PurePerl is an implementation of Peter K. Pearson's hashErwin Lansing2005-12-221-0/+9
algorithm presented in "Fast Hashing of Variable Length Text Strings" - ACM 1990. This hashing technique yields good distribution of hashed results for variable length input strings on the range 0-255, and thus, it is well suited for data load balancing. If you prefer a fast implementation, you might want to consider Digest::Pearson instead.
