I've tried Math::TrulyRandom, but it seems to hang during the make test, I might just be impatient, but it takes a long time.

    More specificly, it takes an obscenely long time.

    That's the price you pay to compute your own high quality psuedo-random numbers...

    BUGS
    The random numbers take a long time (in computer terms) to generate, so are only really useful for seeding pseudo random sequence generators.

    ...it would be interesting to see some statistical comparison of using Math::TrulyRandom vs Math::RandomOrg to see if Math::TrulyRandom was worth using (on machines that have net access)
