Personally I have only one gripe with the Random class in Standard Haskell; this is that it provides too much functionality. In general I think you can only have two of the following 3: (1) good random numbers (2) speed (3) small state For example the Mersenne Twister is very very good and fast

Has anyone had any success using cgi scipts in Haskell/Hugs? According to the paper by Erik Meijer, "Server Side Web Scripting in Haskell", the CGI library is part of the standard Hugs distribution. I've just downloaded the latest installshield version and I couldn't find it. I then downloaded
