NAME

UUID::Random::Patch::UseMRS - Make UUID::Random use Math::Random::Secure's rand()

VERSION

This document describes version 0.030 of UUID::Random::Patch::UseMRS (from Perl distribution UUID-Random-Patch-UseMRS), released on 2021-01-24.

SYNOPSIS

 use UUID::Random::Patch::UseMRS;
 say UUID::Random::generate();

DESCRIPTION

This module makes UUID::Random use rand() from Math::Random::Secure instead of the default rand() that comes with Perl. It is useful for creating cryptographically secure UUID's. On the other hand, as a note, this makes generate() around 20 times slower on my PC.

After you "use" this module, use UUID::Random as usual.
