Shock horror Perl Hi. I want to create a hash value for a data structure, basically so that when I write the chart I'm creating with the routine to disk I can check if there's a recently created version already on disk before redoing the work. Is there any accepted wisdom how to do this?
Ideas already considered: - Data dumper, then md5 it won't work if the order of hash keys change (like it will when we upgrade to 5.8.0 soonish - Storable, then md5 it Storable version changes write the data differently - hence bad keys for different versions. This should be trivial. Any ideas? Later.
