cgi.pm is part of the standard perl installation. does the box you're

you can find out the version by typing 'perl -v' at a command prompt.

Forgot to mention that you must set that variable *before* you instantiate a CGI
object (or use
any of CGI's functions, if using the functional interface). Just put it right after
'use CGI' and
you'll be fine

What Javier says is very true about using ssh but if something happens to

resorting to killing processes whereas, if the network is secure from

OK, so you know about srand, after that the Perl command is pretty easy.

This generates a random integer between 0 and NUMBER, including 0 but not

'rand' generates a random number up to the value defined b
