Summary: Timing side-channel protected string compare

Description: 

This module provides one function, `equals' (not exported by default).

You should pass this function two strings of the same length. Just like perl's `eq', it will return true if they are string-wise identical and false otherwise. However, comparing any two differing strings of the same length will take a fixed amount of time. If the lengths of the strings are different, `equals' will return false right away.
