=head1 NAME

Bio::Community::Role::PRNG - Role for objects that use a pseudo-random number generator

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package My::Package;

  use Moose;
  with 'Bio::Community::Role::PRNG';

  # Use set_seed(), get_seed() and rand() as needed
  # ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This role provides the capability to generate random numbers using a specified
or automatically determined seed. This module uses the superior Mersenne-Twister
algorithm provided by the L<Math::Random::MT> module to draw uniformly
distributed random numbers.
