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.
