Two approaches that might be of interest. In case you require a randomized list of unique numbers, then the problem isn't really about rand() generation, it's a list shuffling task. 

use List::Util q(shuffle);
print join q(,), shuffle 1 .. 1000;

With a large number of elements, various optimizations may become appropriate, such as packed vectors, mmap'ed files, etc.

The second approach is to use a suitable pseudo-random number generator. One might choose a very simple linear congruential generator with a period of m. E.g. with m==224, a range and period of 16777216 is obtainable. Discard values >= 1e7 and you have a sequence of non-repeating pseudo-random numbers to cover the required 7-digit range. Keep in mind that this list will be a very weak and pseudo random sequence, suitable only in cases where the demands are casual.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
