This module provides one function, equals (not exported by default).

You should pass this function two strings of the same length. It will
return true if they are string-wise identical and false otherwise, just
like eq. However, comparing any two differing strings will take a fixed
amount of time, unlike eq.

NOTE: If the lengths of the strings are different, equals will return
false right away.

However, comparing any two differing strings will take a fixed amount of time, unlike eq. NOTE: If the lengths of the strings are different, equals will return false right away. Also, comparing two identical strings will take a different amount of time than comparing two differing strings. 2013-07-03 18:13:38 +02:00			`This module provides one function, equals (not exported by default).`

p5-String-Compare-ConstantTime: fix DESCR The comparison takes a constant amount of time, no matter whether the strings are equal, or even the same, or different. This one sentence had been added to DESCR out of nowhere. 2018-02-18 04:35:37 +01:00			`false right away.`
