Digest::Pearson::PurePerl is an implementation of Peter K. Pearson's hash
|
|
|
|
|
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.
