Bytes::Random::Secure Generate strings of cryptographic-quality pseudo-random bytes as a string of raw bytes, hex digits, MIME Base64, or MIME QuotedPrintable. CONFIGURATION Unless you really want to use Moose, please ensure that Mouse is available on your system. If it isn't, Any::Moose will pull in the heavy-weight: Moose, which is overkill for what this module does. In fact, the Mouse dependency traces back to this module's seed generator: Crypt::Random::Source. If you need better performance, install Math::Random::ISAAC::XS. It will be automatically detected, and will provide better performance as you generate random bytes. If you're on Windows, I'm sorry to say that there is an additional dependency that will be pulled in automatically, and it's not light-weight. Unfortunately it's difficult to get a good random seed source in a Windows environment. At least it *does* work! This dependency is Crypt::Random::Source::Strong::Win32. On *some* Win32 systems it may be necessary to force the installation of Crypt::Random::Source::Strong::Win32 prior to installing Bytes::Random::Secure, due to a broken test in one of C::R::S::S::Win32's dependencies.
