Math-Random-MT-Perl version 1.00 ================================ Pure Perl implementation of the Mersenne Twister algorithm as implemented in C/XS in Math::Random::MT. The Mersenne Twister is a 32 bit pseudorandom number generator developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura. The interface is the same as that of Math::Random::MT with the proviso that seeding with multiple seeds is not supported. The output is identical to the C/XS version. The tests are straight out of Math::Random::MT. SPEED Runs around 1/3-1/2 as fast as Math::Random::MT, however that still means a Benchmark random number generation speed of 100,000/sec on modest hardware, so this is unlikely to cause a significant bottleneck in most circumstances. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Substitute nmake for make on Win32.
