So, in essence, you want your random numbers not to be random, that's a kind of oxymoron.
Running your code on my Windows box, with ActiveState Perl v5.16.3, I get 56:
C:\Users\Laurent>perl -e "srand(555); my $range = 1000; my $number = i
+nt(rand($range)); print $number ;"
56
On the same Windows platform, running Perl v5.14.4 under Cygwin, I get 466:
Laurent@Laurent-HP ~
$ perl -e 'srand(555);
> my $range = 1000;
> my $number = int(rand($range));
> print $number,"\n";'
466
If you really need the same pseudo-random numbers as on you old Perl version, then run your old Perl version, write the pseudo-numbers generated to a file and use the numbers in this file on your new version.
But the bottom line is, IMHO, that you should probably not try to rely on a random number generator to give you always the same sequence of numbers.

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).
