Math::Random::MT::Auto provides PRNGs that are based on the Mersenne Twister. There is a functional interface to a single, standalone PRNG, and an OO interface (based on the inside-out object model as implemented by the Object::InsideOut module) for generating multiple PRNG objects. The PRNGs are normally self-seeding, automatically acquiring a (19968-bit) random seed from user-selectable sources. (Manual seeding is optionally available.)
