package My::Package; use Moose; with 'Bio::Community::Role::PRNG'; # Use set_seed(), get_seed() and rand() as needed # ... 1;
This role provides the capability to generate random numbers using a specified or automatically determined seed. This module uses the superior Mersenne-Twister algorithm provided by the Math::GSL::RNG module to draw uniformly distributed random numbers.
