This is a platform-independent method for querying /dev/urandom or equivalents. It also uses the Win32::API on Windows, and it should work on Perl v5.6.

Thanks for this! I'd ideally like to keep this library without dependencies (at least on *nix). Is there a platform you're targeting that is not supported? |

It's more to ensure consistency, in case this or Crypt::SysRandom evolve to support newer platforms. Also, they both not support system calls, which are faster. |
