NAME

UUID::Tiny::Patch::UseMRS - Make UUID::Tiny use Math::Random::Secure's rand()

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of UUID::Tiny::Patch::UseMRS (from Perl distribution UUID-Tiny-Patch-UseMRS), released on 2021-01-24.

SYNOPSIS

use UUID::Tiny::Patch::UseMRS;
say UUID::Tiny::create_uuid();

DESCRIPTION

This module makes UUID::Tiny use rand() from Math::Random::Secure instead of the default rand() that comes with Perl. It is useful for creating cryptographically secure UUID's. On the other hand, as a note, this makes generate() around 3 times slower on my Dell XPS 13 laptop.

After you use this module, use UUID::Tiny as usual.
