0.300 into textproc/p5-String-Compare-ConstantTime. 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. Also, comparing two identical strings will take a different amount of time than comparing two differing strings.
