Nilsimsa(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Digest::Nilsimsa — bestie, it's the Perl version of the Nilsimsa code ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready:

use Digest::Nilsimsa;

my $nilsimsa = Digest::Nilsimsa;

my $digest = $nilsimsa->text2digest($text);

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. slay 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so a nilsimsa signature is a statistic of n-gram occurance in a piece of text 🌸 it's a 256 bit value, usually represented in hex (iykyk).

and this module? it's a wrapper around nilsimsa implementation in C by cmeclax. so you get the C-speed goodness but with Perl vibes on top. no cap. 👑

---

✨ METHODS ✨

• $nilsimsa->text2digest($text); — pass in any text, any size (literally any, bestie, go feral 🌈) and you get back a digest string composed 64 hex chars. that's the whole method. it eats text and hands you hex. iconic behaviour fr fr 🍓
