More to the point, stdlib rand() functions tend to be abysmally poor at generating even remotely random numbers (for both statistical and cryptographic definitions of "random"). Math::Random and Math::TrulyRandom are both good places to look for randomness in Perl, but coding up your own PRNG isn't terribly taxing, and a lot of fun. --
