The documentation of Math::Random::Secure states:
Will automatically call srand if srand has never been called in this
process or thread.
That seems to imply that srand will be called again after a fork, but that
doesn't seem tob e the case looking at the code:
sub irand (;$) {
my ($limit) = @_;
Math::Random::Secure::srand() if !defined $RNG;
Not sure if that's a documentation bug or a functionality bug, but I assume
one or the other should be fixed. Happy to submit a patch if you have a
repo somewhere I can push to.
