       Math::RandomOrg provides functions for retrieving random data from the random.org server.  Data may be
       retrieved in an integer or byte-stream format using the "randnum" and "randbyte" functions respectively.

       None by default. You may request the following symbols be exported:

       •   randnum

       •   randbyte

       "checkbuf()"
           This routine takes no parameters and simply returns a single value (e.g., "28%") telling you how full
           the  buffer is. At 100%, the buffer is full and you are free to hit it with automated clients. At 0%,
           the buffer is empty and requests will  hang.  When  less  than  100%,  the  buffer  is  being  filled
           continually,  but  doing  so  takes  time. I advise people with automated clients to check the buffer
           level every once in a while and only issue requests when the buffer level is 20% or higher.

       "randnum ( $min, $max )"
           Return an integer (specifically a Math::BigInt object) between the bounds [ $min, $max ] (inclusive).

           By default, $max and $min are positive and negative 1e9, respectively. These default values represent
           random.org's current extrema for the bounds of the randnum function.  Therefore, $min  and  $max  may
           not exceed the default values.

       "randbyte ( $length )"
           Returns an octet-string of specified length (defaults to one byte), which contains random bytes.

           $length may not exceed 16,384, as this is the maximum number of bytes retrievable from the random.org
           server  in  one  request, and making multiple requests for an unbounded amount of data would unfairly
           tax the random.org server. If you need large amounts  of  random  data,  you  may  wish  to  try  the
           Math::TrulyRandom module.

       "randseq ( $min, $max )"
           The randseq script returns a randomized sequence of numbers. This corresponds to dropping a number of
           lottery  tickets  into a hat and drawing them out in random order. Hence, each number in a randomized
           sequence occurs exactly once.

           Example: "randseq(1, 10)" will return the numbers between 1 and  10  (both  inclusive)  in  a  random
           order.
