Data::Entropy provides modules relating to the generation and use of entropy. The Data::Entropy::Source class manages the entropy coming from a particular source. This class acts as a layer over a raw entropy source, which may be a normal I/O handle or a special-purpose class. The Data::Entropy::RawSource::* classes provide fundamental sources of entropy. The sources specially supported are an OS-supplied entropy collector, downloads from servers on the Internet, and cryptographic fake entropy. The Data::Entropy::Algorithms module contains a collection of fundamental algorithms that use entropy. There are random number generators and functions to shuffle arrays.
