To answer your question directly, PERL_HASH is exposed by B:
$ perl -MB=hash -le 'print hash("foo")'
0xad6987c4
$ perl -MB=hash -le 'print hash("foo")'
0x5fd458f7
But as I said, you may want to consider using a standardized function, which when implemented in XS should be "nearly as fast". Also, keep in mind that in hashes, collisions are acceptable - short checksums will do that, and since you haven't told us anything about the problem you're trying to solve, we can't know if that is appropriate in your case.
