in thread rand() function on Windows systems

I get the desired `56` on Strawberry Perl 5.10.1 Portable Edition, so if you only need a quick one-off without having to install anything, look here.

    I also got 56 on ActiveState 5.16 (and BrowserUK also, apparently), but the OP seems to be looking for 52:
    older versions of Perl output a number of 52
    I wonder which version of Perl was being used then.
      I apologize. I was meant to be 56
        ... meant to be 56

        This can be (and IMHO should be) changed in the OP. Please see How do I change/delete my post? and the <strike>stuff</strike> tag. (Also consider the <del>old</del><ins>new</ins> tags, although I don't know where these are discussed.)


        Give a man a fish:  <%-{-{-{-<

      Whoops! In my haste to leave the office for the day, somehow I must have gone a bit weird and thought a 2 meant 6. Good thing I wasn't working with accounting systems today ;)
