Perl implementation of the Mersenne Twister algorithm
Math::Random::MT provides an implementation of the Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator algorithm developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura.
It is related to but a different algorithm than a previous work by the same authors - the TT800 algorithm, which keeps less state data (MT uses 624 numbers compared to TT800's 25). Consequently, the period is much larger - 2^19937-1 compared to TT800's 2^800-1. For comparison, ISAAC's period is 2^8295 values on average.
For more information, peruse M. Matsumoto and T. Nishimura's paper: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/ARTICLES/earticles.html .
