Digest::XSAdler32 - Implementation of the Adler32 checksum algorithm using XS
use Digest::XSAdler32; Digest::XSAdler32::updateAdler32(*FP, $offset, $size);
Digest::XSAdler32 is an implementation of the Adler32 checksum algorithm. Unlike Digest::Adler (http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Digest-Adler32-0.03/lib/Digest/Adler32.pm) the algorithm is implemented in C and linked using XS rather than in native Perl. This makes it significantly faster.
Unless you *really* need the additional speed, I would urge you to use Digest::Adler32 instead of this module.
