NAME

Digest::Adler32::XS - Generate Adler32 digests efficiently

SYNOPSIS

use Digest::Adler32::XS;
my $digest = Digest::Adler32::XS->new();

# add stuff
$digest->add($some_data);
$digest->addfile(*STDIN);

# get digest
print "Adler32: ", $digest->hexdigest, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module is a more efficient version of Digest::Adler32, and conforms to the same API. The digest calculations are performed internally in C for performance. Benchmarks show that this module typically performance 300 times faster than Digest::Adler32.

Another implementation of Adler-32 is provided in the Digest::Adler32 module.
