Name

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

Synopsis

       This module implements the same interface as "Math::Random::ISAAC" and can be used as a drop-in
       replacement. However, it is recommended that you let the "Math::Random::ISAAC" module decide whether to
       use the PurePerl or XS version of this module, instead of choosing manually.

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