  Description     : module for protecting string comparison from timing attacks

String::Compare::ConstantTime provides one function, equals(), which takes two 
strings of the same lenght as arguments.
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.
