Newlines should count if they're being used as whitespace separators like you've got in the last few lines (eg the qw list, or separating '/eg' and the following 'for'). But that would seem to only push your code up to 107 characters (3 spaces for the qw, another trailing '/eg'.

I think in the general rules of golf, the character count should be as if the entire function was in one line of text. You can add CRs later, but the golf should still work if I did s/\n//g on it.

It's not what you know, but knowing how to find it if you don't know that's important

    The count would be 109. You did not include the space needed between "0" and "x", nor the space needed between "rand" and "4".
