For example, srand 0;print int(rand(99)) for 0..9 must always yield 023647263525973192

This outputs correctly for me:
use warnings; use strict; my_srand(0); print int(my_rand(99)) for 0..9; sub my_srand { use Win32::API; my $srand = Win32::API::More->new( 'msvcrt', 'void srand(unsigned int seed)' ) or die "Error: ".Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError()); $srand->Call($_[0]); } sub my_rand { my $rand = Win32::API::More->new( 'msvcrt', 'int rand()' ) or die "Error: ".Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError()); return int(($rand->Call()) * $_[0] / 32767); }
It outputs 023647263525973192
The only problem is that it calls my_srand and my_rand, but I gather that the requirement is that it instead call srand and rand.
I don't know how/if the builtin srand and rand can be overridden to point to my_srand and my_rand.

Cheers,
