Dear Monks<BR><BR>
I have a new problem, which is challenging of course, but when implementing the solution it would be nice to know that I've chosen the correct one!<BR>
The tool I'm writing has to tell, out of many objects (all instances from the same package), which objects are duplicates. In a loop I can compare the data from 2 objects at the time and determine which objects I have to remove. However this will be too slow, those objects contain a lot of ASCII data! (performance is very important).
<BR><BR>The best solution (I think) would be to create a fingerprint once per object which is used in the comparison!<BR>
But what is the fastest way to make fingerprints, [cpan://MD5] ?

Thnx<BR>
