in reply to how can i generate random numbers with predefined mean and standard deviation

Laziness is a virtue.

Before writing code, check to see if someone else has already solved this problem.

Searching CPAN for "random AND deviation"... Result #1 is Math::Random. 

use Math::Random 'random_normal';
my @random = random_normal(1000, 250, 20)
