@unnumbered Perl interface to a truly random number generator function


@unnumberedsec NAME

TrulyRandom - Perl interface to a truly random number generator function

@unnumberedsec SYNOPSIS

@example
use Math::TrulyRandom;

$random = truly_random_value();
@end example

@unnumberedsec DESCRIPTION

The @strong{TrulyRandom} module provides an ability to generate truly random
numbers from within Perl programs.
The source of the randomness is from interrupt timing discrepancies.

@unnumberedsec EXAMPLE

@example
$random = truly_random_value();
@end example

@unnumberedsec BUGS

The random numbers take a long time (in computer terms) to generate,
so are only really useful for seeding pseudo random sequence generators.
