Description : Data::Entropy from CPAN - entropy (randomness) management
This module maintains a concept of a current selection of entropy source.
Algorithms that require entropy can use the source nominated by this module,
avoiding the need for entropy source objects to be explicitly passed around.
This is convenient because usually one entropy source will be used for an
entire program run and so an explicit entropy source parameter would rarely
vary. There is also a default entropy source, avoiding the need to explicitly
configure a source at all.
