NAME
    Math::Random::ISAAC::PP - Pure Perl port of the ISAAC PRNG algorithm

VERSION
    version 1.004

SYNOPSIS
    This module implements the same interface as "Math::Random::ISAAC" and can be used as a drop-in
    replacement. However, it is recommended that you let the "Math::Random::ISAAC" module decide
    whether to use the PurePerl or XS version of this module, instead of choosing manually.

    Selecting the backend to use manually really only has two uses:

    *   If you are trying to avoid the small overhead incurred with dispatching method calls to the
        appropriate backend modules.

    *   If you are testing the module for performance and wish to explicitly decide which module you
        would like to use.

    Example code:

      # With Math::Random::ISAAC
      my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC->new(time);
      my $rand = $rng->rand();

      # With Math::Random::ISAAC::PP
      my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC::PP->new(time);
      my $rand = $rng->rand();

    See Math::Random::ISAAC for the full description.
