in reply to Re^2: inclusive rand
in thread inclusive rand

Personally I'd make sure to stay below the precision of rand, to avoid skewing the probabilities because of the multiple operations (multiplication, rounding, division) and the error they may imply. Besides, there's nothing particularily significant about the precision of rand, it's probably around the best possible precision on a float. And you could actually get a better resolution than rand with Crypt::Random.
