I may be missing something very obvious, but could someone step through this one step at a time? The way I'm reading it, something like the below happens, and it doesn't make much sense to me.

Input: 2d4+10
Code: s/d/q(+~~rand($')+d)x$`/e;

2d4+10
2(q(+~~rand($')+d)x$`)4+10
2(q(+int(rand($'))+d)x$`)4+10
2(q(+int(rand(4+10))+d)x2)4+10
2('+int(rand(4+10))+d'x2)4+10
2('+int(rand(4+10))+d''+int(rand(4+10))+d')4+10
=?????

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
