NAME

TrulyRandom - Perl interface to a truly random number generator function

SYNOPSIS

    use Math::TrulyRandom;        $random = truly_random_value();

DESCRIPTION

The TrulyRandom module provides an ability to generate truly randomnumbers from within Perl programs.The source of the randomness is from interrupt timing discrepancies.

EXAMPLE

    $random = truly_random_value();

BUGS

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