Peng,
Could you give me an example code? I want to randomly select X numbers of
numbers from the @nums list. For instance, i want to randomly select 3 numbers
from @nums i.e. 10000, 10005, 140000. How would you use srand to do this?
Would Math::TrulyRandom be a better solution since i want to use this function
to randomly pick winners for a drawing contest. If so could some one kindly
give me some example codes? Thanks.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @nums = ("10000","10002","10004","10005","10006","140000","1500000");
my $randnum = $nums[rand(@nums)];
print "$randnum \n";

You may need srand before the rand function.
