That helps but how would i just get back an X number of random numbers
because @nums could be in the hundreds of unique numbers. For instance,
i just want to randomly pickout 4 numbers from a long list of unique
numbers in @nums, how would i do that?
use List::Util qw' shuffle ';
my $X = 4;
my @random = ( shuffle @nums )[ 0 .. $X - 1 ];
