 If you are concerned about the performance impact of long
 keys, and your application fits a write-once, read-many
 model, then you could always hash the hash keys. Say generate
 an MD5 digest of the key string, and then use the digest as
 the hash key.

This might make a nice Tie:: module, if there already isn't
one. But then again, tie itself is allegedly slow...

 I just realized that we don't have a date reserved at BU for the January
 meeting.
 
 Ben, would you prefer meeting people at a social meeting or a technical
 meeting?

I'd prefer meeting people at whichever kind of meeting would result
in my meeting more people and having more of an opportunity to
talk to them. :-)

However if a technical meeting is better for that, don't look at me to
present anything.  I'm spending January taking care of my son, while
my wife goes to residency interviews, and Jan 19 will be my first
break from baby care all year.

Cheers,
Ben
