:( Why that is causing a problem just sailed right over my head. I'll
look at it more closely in the morning. I notice that Crypt::Random uses
*import      =3D \&Exporter::import;

Which is mentioned in the docs the email your referred to quotes. Is
that what is the source of the error? I'd never seen that before. Do you
have a guess why that conflicts with PDL when PDL doesn't seem to have a
'makerandom'? Personally I'd rather patch the modules than mess with
UNIVERSAL, but if you could provide you patch so I could test it (rather
than poke around myself for a bit ;) I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
