In one of my programs I started to receive database errors for not

that I add to the database. I realized that the perl variable $idNum was
keeping the same random string for multiple executions.
I've been there too.
Same problem, with mod perl 2.04.
This is what I have in my startup.pl:
# Every mp process needs a different random seed, or they will
# generate the exact same random number sequence every time,
# resulting in tokens collision
my $srv = Apache2::ServerUtil->server;
$srv->push_handlers(PerlChildInitHandler => sub { srand(time ^ $$) } );
