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

Look at the various Digest:: modules.

The paragraph "MIXING POST AND URL PARAMETERS" in `perldoc CGI` deals
with mixing POST and GET requests. I just mention it due to seeing
you're using it. Perhaps this doesn't solve your problem (since param
"action" is corrupt instead of "lang").
Btw, how is loadLanguage() processing the CGI params. Does it reading
all the stuff from STDIN in order that execute() cannot read the same
again?
