NAME

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

VERSION

       version 1.003

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:

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

       o   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();

       See Math::Random::ISAAC for the full description.
