Homepage: https://metacpan.org/release/String-Compare-ConstantTime
Description-en: module for protecting string comparison from timing attacks
String::Compare::ConstantTime provides one function, equals(), which takes
two strings of the same length as arguments. It will return true if they are
string-wise identical and false otherwise, just like eq. However, comparing
any two differing strings will take a fixed amount of time, unlike eq.
