in thread PerlApi: hashes

HeHASH Returns the computed hash stored in the hash entry. U32 HeHASH(HE* he)

In order to obtain the HE* for a key, I first need to look it up; and in order to lookup the key, I need to calculate the hash value!

Reminds me of the old joke: Anti-thirst pills; take two in a glass of water.
