Thanks all!
I was wondering why the author didn't just call rand.
I checked the rest of the source and it's just used as a unique identifier.
So using rand would have been much easier.

Well, it's not complete, for one thing. What comes next?

Hi,
I can't for the life of me figure out what this is trying to do
$token = $$ ^ unpack "%L*", `ps -A | "./bin/gzip"
Just seems to be it's trying to generate some random number.
I only know it's trying to XOR the process ID.
What does this part do?
unpack "%L*", `ps -A | "./bin/gzip"
Thanks
