How To Install perl-Data-Entropy on CentOS 7

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Data-Entropy on CentOS 7.

What is perl-Data-Entropy

This module maintains a concept of a current selection of entropy source. Algorithms that require entropy, such as those in Data module, avoiding the need for entropy source objects to be explicitly passed around. This is convenient because usually one entropy source will be used for an entire program run and so an explicit entropy source parameter would rarely vary. There is also a default entropy source, avoiding the need to explicitly configure a source at all.

We can use yum or dnf to install perl-Data-Entropy on CentOS 7. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install perl-Data-Entropy.
