Re: Crypt::Random not working

I've never had trouble with Crypt::Random, but the error you're getting looks like it's having trouble with /dev/urandom. Does your system have this file? What does:

$ dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=10 |od

do from the shell?

dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=10 \|od reports: 10+0 records in 10+0 records out 0000000 115022 065433 122536 034006 016522 0000012 Is this what it supposed to do when given this shell command? BMaximus	[reply]

Yup. What I would do for my next step would be to use `strace` or `perl -D` to figure out what's going on, or else email the developers of `Crypt::Random`.	[reply]
