Modules for hash functions? (ie, common algorithms for computing hash keys, not manipulating perl ha

Are there any modules out there for common string hashing algorithms?
I've got a project where I'm going to be setting up a database of
texts, potentially large, amongst which we'll need to be able to
identify duplicate texts quickly.
