Just feeling that somehow ikegami's answer could be better phrased:
There are three points:
(added by me) calling srand() implicitly or explicitly with no seed should seed the way perl seeds (at least as the doc says for a perl version superior to 5.004)
then 'perldoc -f srand' says explicitly that one should not call srand() twice as you would lose randomness, so it seems that reseeding in each child is not the better option (one implicit call from use IO::Socket::SSL and one explicit call from each child)
finally actually delaying the implicit and only call to srand()
can be done requiring IO::Socket::SSL in each child </it>
IMHO this was the point made by fletch and at least another monk.
cheers

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
