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.
