NAME

Crypt::Random::Source::Factory - Load and instantiate sources of random data.

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::Random::Source::Factory;

my $f = Crypt::Random::Source::Factory->new;

my $strong = $f->get_strong;

my $weak = $f->get_weak;

my $any = $f->get;

DESCRIPTION

This class implements a loading and instantiation factory for Crypt::Random::Source objects.

If $ENV{CRYPT_RANDOM_NOT_PLUGGABLE} is set then only a preset list of sources will be tried. Otherwise Module::Find will be used to locate any installed sources, and use the first available one.

METHODS

get %args

Instantiate any random source, passing %args to the constructor.

The type argument can be weak, strong or any.

get_weak %args

get_strong %args

Instantiate a new weak or strong random source.
