  Description     : module to generate secure strings for passwords, secrets and similar

Crypt::URandom::Token provides a secure way to generate a random token for
passwords and similar using Crypt::URandom as the source of random bits.

By default, it generates a 44 character alphanumeric token with more than 256
bits of entropy. A custom alphabet with between 2 and 256 elements can be
provided.

Modulo reduction and rejection sampling is used to prevent modulus bias. Keep
in mind that bias will be introduced if duplicate elements are provided in
the alphabet.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
