Branch: pkgsrc-2021Q4, Version: 0.321nb2, Package name: p5-String-Compare-ConstantTime-0.321nb2, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

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.
