Description:

*Math::Random* is a *Perl* port of the *C* version of *randlib*, which is a
suite of routines for generating random deviates. See the "RANDLIB" manpage
for more information.

This port supports all of the distributions from which the *Fortran* and
*C* versions generate deviates. The major functionalities that are excluded
are the multiple generators/splitting facility and antithetic random number
generation. These facilities, along with some of the distributions which
_are_ included, are probably not of interest except to the very
sophisticated user. If there is sufficient interest, the excluded
facilities will be included in a future release. The code to perform the
excluded facilities is available as *randlib* in *Fortran* and *C* source.

Default Routines
The routines which are exported by default are the only ones that the
average Perl programmer is likely to need.
