in reply to Calling the 'newhash' ?

Is this the hash you are thinking of? If so, I have an implementation in perl which seems reasonably quick but I haven't managed to verify it as a correct implementation yet. Of course, an inline C or XS version would be much quicker if you have that option open to you.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible
3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    The listing at the beginning of that page -- yes, that's what I'm looking for. I'd be happy to start with your code, since I'd need to verify anything I wrote anyway (and I'll let you know the results).
