random graphix generator

[Luinrandir Hernson]

Perhaps someone can give me a siple line
in basic the rnd (random) Command goes something like this
$A=fix(rnd*10)
(the "fix" drops everything right of the decimal point. results in nnumber 0 to 9)
what is it in perl? I've looked at perldoc.org, no luck
and at the perldocs -f rnd... no luck
what i'm trying to do is select a random graphic.gif for my website backround.
I know about srand;
I'm new to perl, so be gentle and complete ;-)
