Need Help??

in reply to "a random sort of list"

I'd suggest using glob() to grab the file listing, randomizing that using the permutation code that floats around here alot, and then doing the foreach on that...

print "Content-type: text/htlp\n\n";
$n=1;
@files = glob("random/*.html);
fisher_yates_shuffle(@files); # see the Perl Cookbook for this functio
+n
foreach $file (@files) {
  ...
}
