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


version 1.004


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.
