As with other Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) algorithms like the Mersenne Twister (see Math::Random::MT), this algorithm is designed to take some seed information and produce seemingly random results as output. However, ISAAC (Indirection, Shi...

• Math::Random::ISAAC::PP - Pure Perl port of the ISAAC PRNG algorithm

See Math::Random::ISAAC for the full description....

This class provides a generic set of translations that are specific to the ISAAC camera of the European Southern Observatory....

• Bytes::Random::Secure::Tiny - A tiny Perl extension to generate cryptographically-secure random bytes.

Many Perl release announcements included an *epigraph*, a short excerpt from a literary or other creative work, chosen by the pumpking or release manager. This file assembles the known list of epigraph for posterity, and also links to the release ann...

XML/RDB version 1.1 ==================== A long-arse how-to & explanation: An XML document is an ideal transport for data between heterogeneous systems. XML documents are also an ideal way to represent hierarchical data generically. Yet when it comes...

Carp::Proxy is a framework for throwing exceptions. The goal is to couple the small lexical footprint of the die() statement with support for comprehensive error messages. Good diagnostics pay for themselves; let's make them easier to produce. Error ...

This module implements the orbital propagation models described in "SPACETRACK REPORT NO. 3, Models for Propagation of NORAD Element Sets" and "Revisiting Spacetrack Report #3." See the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS section for details on these reports. In other w...

A module for number theory in Perl. This includes prime sieving, primality tests, primality proofs, integer factoring, counts / bounds / approximations for primes, nth primes, and twin primes, random prime generation, and much more. This module is th...

This module adds support for 64 bit integers, signed and unsigned, to Perl. Exportable functions int64() int64($value) Creates a new int64 value and initializes it to $value, where $value can be a Perl number or a string containing a number. For inst...

There are many templating modules on CPAN. They're all far, far more powerful than Text::Printf. When you need that power, they're wonderful. But when you don't, they're overkill. This module provides a very simple, lightweight, quick and easy templa...

A token scheme factory object parses a collection of option settings (normally given as the arguments for Net::OAuth2::Scheme->new()), and then exports a set of specialized methods (closures) that a corresponding scheme object will need. The implemen...

• Net::OAuth2::Scheme::Random - random number generator interface

A module for number theory in Perl using GMP. This includes primality tests, getting primes in a range, factoring, and more. While it certainly can be used directly, the main purpose of this module is for Math::Prime::Util. That module will automatic...

A simple mechanism to get strong randomness. The main purpose of this module is to provide a simple way to generate a seed for a PRNG such as Math::Random::ISAAC, for use in cryptographic key generation, or as the seed for an upstream module such as ...

This module implements a secure way to encode session data. It is primarily intended for storing session data in browser cookies, but could be used with other backend storage where security of stored session data is important. Features include: * Dat...

This module includes a minimal PCG (Permuted Congruential Generator) for random numbers <http://www.pcg-random.org/> plus utility routines for PCG (Procedural Content Generation). A RANDOM BENCHMARK This pits the (very bad) core "rand" function again...

This theme has the nobel prize winners, divided into categories. The first Nobel prizes were awarded in 1901. Nobel prizes have been awarded for Chemistry, Literature, Medicine, Peace, Physics, and Economics. Strictly speaking, the Economics prize is...
