NAME

       Math::Random::ISAAC::XS - C implementation of the ISAAC PRNG algorithm

VERSION

       version 1.004

SYNOPSIS

       This module implements the same interface as "Math::Random::ISAAC" and can be used as a drop-in
       replacement. This is the recommended implementation of the module, based on Bob Jenkins' reference
       implementation in C.

       Selecting the backend to use manually really only has two uses:

       •   If you are trying to avoid the small overhead incurred with dispatching method calls to the
           appropriate backend modules.

       •   If you are testing the module for performance and wish to explicitly decide which module you would
           like to use.

       Example code:

         # With Math::Random::ISAAC
         my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC->new(time);
         my $rand = $rng->rand();

         # With Math::Random::ISAAC::XS
         my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC::XS->new(time);
         my $rand = $rng->rand();
