why:
I have a module Random::Skew that I've developed for creating
randomized data samples (typically for populating demo tables). It
handles a wide range of weightings (a=>1, z=>1_000_000) without
consuming tons of ram, and it's pretty fast. Main caveat is it does
a bit of rounding so the resulting data is close to the proportions
requested, with a little deviation. (The existing
Data::Random::Weighted looks interesting but won't scale well into
the millions.)
I also have a companion module Random::Skew::Test that shows the
rounding effects and explains easy tweaks to fine-tune the results.
Would like to post these in case others find them useful.
