Works fine on my box (Mac OS X, perl 5.8). I'm afraid I don't have enough XS-fu to offer any advice on getting it running. Might be worth submitting a bug report.

May not be what you're looking for anyway... from the C source:

/* * WARNING: depending on the particular platform, truerand() output ma +y * be biased or correlated. In general, you can expect about 16 bits +of * "pseudo-entropy" out of each 32 bit word returned by truerand(), * but it may not be uniformly diffused. You should therefore run * the output through some post-whitening function (like MD5 or DES or * whatever) before using it to generate key material. (RSAREF's * random package does this for you when you feed truerand() bits to t +he * seed input function.) * * Test these assumptions on your own platform before fielding a syste +m * based on this software or these techniques. * * This software seems to work well (at 16 bits per truerand() call) o +n * a Sun Sparc-20 under SunOS 4.1.3 and on a P100 under BSDI 2.0. You +'re * on your own elsewhere. */
