Re^11: PDL and srand puzzle - PDL::srand/srandom not working

[marioroy]

See my reply to Rob. In short, calling PDL::srandom before spawning workers has no effect. The workaround is to call CORE::srand instead.

See also, non-thread testing.

Edit: MCE checks for PDL::Primitive->can('srand'), but missed checking PDL::Primitive->can('srandom'). Resolved in MCE v1.894 and MCE::Shared v1.889.

Calling srand cannot be a workaround for this, because there is no interaction between Perl's RNG and PDL's. They are separate systems.
