# security/p5-BSD-arc4random - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Perl interface to the arc4 random number generator

    This module provides a Perl API for the BSDs' arc4random(3) suite
    of functions and adds a few high-level functions, such as the new
    arc4random_uniform(3). The Perl functions are ithreads-safe (only
    if threads::shared is required). Scalars can be tied to this pak-
    kage, yielding uniformly distributed random numbers with an arbi-
    trary upper bound on read access, contributing to the RC4 entropy
    pool on write access. An exported global $RANDOM variable returns
    15-bit unsigned random numbers, from [0; 32767], similar to mksh.
    Furthermore, Perl's internal PRNG is seeded with entropy obtained
    from the arc4random generator once on module load time.
