NAME

Mcrypt - Perl extension for a Mersenne Twister PRGN implementation with context.

SYNOPSIS

  use Rand::MersenneTwister;
  # Object-oriented methods
  # New object context optionally seeded.
  $r = Rand::MersenneTwister->new( [$seed] );


  # Seed or reseed this PRNG context.
  $r->seed($number);
  # fetch the next random number in the sequance.
  # between 0 and 1
  my $random_number = $r->rand;
  # between 0 and $v
  my $random_number = $r->rand($v);
  # If the $r goes out of context, it is freed.

DESCRIPTION
