=head1 NAME

Crypt::Makerand - Perl extension for the truerand library

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::Makerand;
  $rand = Crypt::Makerand::trand32();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Uses the truerand library to generate a random 32 bit number.

The basic idea here is that between clock "skew" and various
hard-to-predict OS event arrivals, counting a tight loop will yield
a little (maybe a third of a bit or so) of "good" randomness per
interval clock tick.  This seems to work well even on unloaded
machines.  If there is a human operator at the machine, you should
augment truerand with other measure, like keyboard event timing.

On server machines (e.g., when you need to generate a
Diffie-Hellman secret) truerand alone may be good enough.

=head2 Exportable functions

unsigned long trand32(void)
