NAME
Math::Random::ISAAC::XS - C implementation of the ISAAC PRNG Algorithm
VERSION
Version 1.0.6 ($Id: XS.pm 8223 2009-07-26 00:10:14Z FREQUENCY@cpan.org $)
SYNOPSIS
This module implements the same interface as Math::Random::ISAAC
and can be used as a drop-in replacement. This is the recommended implementation of the module, based on Bob Jenkins' reference implementation in C.
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::XS
my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC::XS->new(time);
my $rand = $rng->rand();
DESCRIPTION
See Math::Random::ISAAC for the full description.
METHODS

Implements the interface as specified in Math::Random::ISAAC
$rng->rand()
Implements the interface as specified in Math::Random::ISAAC
$rng->irand()
