Why is this not a module? It's self contained. Nice clean interface. Oh right, it's not object-oriented. Wait a minute, it uses closures... you can spawn different generators in the same program to your heart's desire.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but if you can tell me why this is not a module I'd sure like to learn why.

update: ok, in light of you subsequent comment it makes more sense, but why couldn't you have said so in the first place, instead of making a useless content-free remark?

At the time of posting, I didn't see aany of the lines below. Who knows, maybe the author was updating the node at the time. (the remark was genuine)

  10: package RandomSequence;
  11: require Exporter;
  12: @RandomSequence::ISA = 'Exporter';
  13: @RandomSequence::EXPORT_OK = qw(randomSequenceGenerator filterGe
+nerator);
  14: %RandomSequence::EXPORT_TAGS = (
  15:     'ALL' => [ qw(randomSequenceGenerator filterGenerator) ]
  16: );

Hmm, what's going on here?

Ah, I saw the comment and added the Exporter stuff. Sorry to confuse anyone.
