TrulyRandom - Perl interface to a truly random number generator function
use Math::TrulyRandom; $random = truly_random_value();
The TrulyRandom module provides an ability to generate truly random numbers from within Perl programs. The source of the randomness is from interrupt timing discrepancies.
$random = truly_random_value();
The random numbers take a long time (in computer terms) to generate, so are only really useful for seeding pseudo random sequence generators.
This implementation derives from the truly random number generator function developed by Matt Blaze and Don Mitchell, and is copyright of AT&T. Other parts of this perl extension are copyright of Systemics Ltd ( http://www.systemics.com/ ).
To install Math::TrulyRandom, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
cpanm
cpanm Math::TrulyRandom
CPAN shell
perl -MCPAN -e shell install Math::TrulyRandom
