Crypt::Random::Seed version 0.01
========================
Crypt::Random::Seed provides a simple interface to get the strongest source
of randomness on the current platform. This may take a very long time. This
is intended to provide a seed for a good random number generator, such as
Math::Random::ISAAC, or for use when generating cryptographic keys.
For non-blocking source, I recommend Crypt::URandom.
For more complex setups, Crypt::Random::Source has multiple plugins.
The following sources are tried, in order:
Win32 Crypto API
/dev/random
Crypt::Random::TESHA2
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
DEPENDENCIES
Win32::API on Windows, FileHandle on non-Windows
Crypt::Random::TESHA2, only used if /dev/random or Win32 API doesn't work.
