but Corion told you not to use rand(). because it is likely (in the case of 36char strings actually quite unlikely) that nonce will be the same. Why introduce bugs in your code? You can start with a nonce and keep incrementing it perhaps? my $startnonce = 'a' x 36; print $startnonce++."\n" for 1..10; (note that this will expand to invalid nonce of 37 characters long after some 26**36 nonces). Or append Time::HiRes::time() into a constant nonce part in order to complete 36 chars my $nonce = substr Time::HiRes::time().("a" x 36), 0, 36. This will fail if your two requests happen in the same nanosecond.
