NAME
Math::LogRand - Perl extension for return a random number with log weighting.
SYNOPSIS
use Math::LogRand;

for (0.1000){ ++$%test{LogRand($min,$max)} }
foreach (keys %test){ print "$_\toccured$test{$_} times.\n" }
exit;
DESCRIPTION
Accepts arguments: the floor of distribution, and the ceilling of distribution.
Returns a 'random' integer produced by the Perl rand()
function, between input parameters, with weighting to low integers by log distribution.
How good/bad this is, I don't know: it's really for my own convenience, but I hope you find it useful. Any suggestions really very gratefully received!
