Crypt::Random::Source::Weak::openssl 0.02

Crypt::Random::Source::Weak::openssl is a Perl module to get random bytes from the OpenSSL command line utility.

SYNOPSIS

 use Crypt::Random::Source::Strong::openssl;

 my $source = Crypt::Random::Source::Weak::openssl->new

 my $bytes = $source->get(1024); # get 1kb of random bytes

This is a weak random byte source because openssl rand is a PRNG.

This is a subclass of Crypt::Random::Source::Base::Proc.

Due to the retarded nature of the rand command line utility's interface, it must repeatedly be invoked with default_chunk_size as number of random bytes to generate.
