Can someone point me to a good cpan module employing a one way hashing
algorithm?
e.g. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/innodb-physical-structure.html
maps to 278HGKJZLKLK23 every time.
I need to be able to map a potentially long string (ie a URL) to a
shorter string (or integer) so I can effectively index a table.
(i'm not worried about the occasional duplicate, i understand it's not
possible to effectively condense every string acturately to a shorter
unique string)
Thanks,
Alex
