That certainly wins the "don't reinvent the wheel" award. :)
I ended up going with something a bit more self-contained (do need POSIX though, just to get started). Removing the validation checks from the snippet below, where $ARGV[0] is the first value, and $ARGV1 is the count, I ended up with:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use POSIX;
use feature 'state';
my $b36str = lc $ARGV[0];
my $begnum = POSIX::strtol($b36str,36);
for (my $i = $begnum; $i < $begnum+$ARGV[1]; $i++)
{
$b36str = base36($i);
print "$b36str\n";
}
sub base36
{
my ($tmpval) = @_;
state $digits = join '', '0'..'9', 'a'..'z';
my $newstr = '';
while ($tmpval)
{
$newstr = substr($digits, $tmpval % 36, 1) . $newstr;
$tmpval = int $tmpval / 36;
}
return $newstr || '0';
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
