Sekhmet - Ultra-fast XS ULID generator built on Horus

DESCRIPTION

Sekhmet generates ULIDs (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable
Identifiers) as defined at https://github.com/ulid/spec.

Built on Horus's C primitives for Crockford base32 encoding, CSPRNG
random bytes, and millisecond timestamps. Uses custom ops on Perl 5.14+
for minimal dispatch overhead.

Performance: ~12M ulid()/sec, ~24M ulid_binary()/sec.

SYNOPSIS

    use Sekhmet qw(:all);

    my $ulid = ulid();                  # "01HYXZ3QXB8P6DYZ2TV4BPJ0E7"
    my $mono = ulid_monotonic();        # guaranteed monotonic in same ms
    my $bin  = ulid_binary();           # 16 raw bytes
    my $ts   = ulid_time($ulid);        # epoch seconds
    my $uuid = ulid_to_uuid($ulid);     # UUID v7 string
    my $cmp  = ulid_compare($a, $b);    # -1, 0, 1
    my $ok   = ulid_validate($string);  # 1 or 0
