Bill Fenner 83764e1daa Update search.cpan.org WWW: entries to have a trailing slash.
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.

Digest::Pearson 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.
The implementation is in C, so it is fast. If you prefer a pure Perl version
and can tolerate slower speed, you might want to consider
Digest::Pearson::PurePerl instead.
