Re: rand and srand across builds and platforms?

I'd say that looks like a no; stock 5.8.1 on OS X sez:

However I think Math::Random is more consistent.

However I think Math::Random is more consistent. I think my favorite Math::Random::MT might be also, but it would be too much to add a prerequisite for a compiled package that's only used in testing I think. I can embed a few useful sequences I guess. Examine what is said, not who speaks. Silence betokens consent. Love the truth but pardon error.	[reply]
