+ (description "ISAAC (Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add, and Count) is a
+fast pseudo-random number generator. It is suitable for applications where a
+significant amount of random data needs to be produced quickly, such as
+solving using the Monte Carlo method or for games. The results are uniformly
+distributed, unbiased, and unpredictable unless you know the seed.
+
+This package provides a Perl interface to the ISAAC pseudo random number
+generator.")
