lib/Crypt/Random/Seed.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

A great little module that is almost what I was looking for.
L<Crypt::Random::Seed> will act the same if given the constructor:

  my $source = Crypt::Random::Seed->new(
     NonBlocking => 1,
     Only => [qw(/dev/random /dev/urandom Win32)]
  );
  croak "No randomness source available" unless defined $source;

Or you can leave out the C<Only> and have TESHA2 as a backup.

=head2 L<Crypt::Random>

Requires L<Math::Pari> which makes it unacceptable in some environments.
Has more features (numbers in arbitrary bigint intervals or bit sizes).
L<Crypt::Random::Seed> is taking a simpler approach, just handling returning
octets and letting upstream modules handle the rest.
