Description

Pure Perl implementation of the Mersenne Twister algorithm as implemented in C/XS in Math::Random::MT. The output is identical to the C/XS version. The Mersenne Twister is a 32 bit pseudorandom number generator developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura. The algorithm is characterised by a very uniform distribution but is not cryptographically secure. What this means in real terms is that it is fine for modeling but no good for crypto.
