No, everything is 1 package. No subs are usable or do meaningful work (the subs are in XS and they loop over const static C data structures), nothing is exported. There is no API. The only purpose of this module is to benchmark. The pod will say dont do "make install" since there is nothing useful in it. > > I know I demoted Benchmark from top level, but it seemed a more natural > fit to me. > > Are the hash algorithms supposed to be stand-alone, or will it be possible > to use them as plug-ins for perl's built-in hashing?
