# Crypt::Random::Source::Weak::rand(3pm)

Use "rand" to create random bytes

## NAME

Crypt::Random::Source::Weak::rand - Use "rand" to create random bytes

## VERSION

version 0.11

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Crypt::Random::Source::Weak::rand;
    my $p = Crypt::Random::Source::Weak::rand->new;
    $p->get(1024);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a weak source of random data, that uses Perl's builtin `"rand"` function.

## METHODS

### seed @blah

Sets the random seed to a checksum of the stringified values of `@blah`.

There is no need to call this method unless you want the random sequence to be identical to a previously run, in which case you should seed with the same value.

### get $n

Produces `$n` random bytes.
