So, in essence, you want your random numbers not to be random, that's a kind of oxymoron.

Running your code on my Windows box, with ActiveState Perl v5.16.3, I get 56: 

C:\Users\Laurent>perl -e "srand(555); my $range = 1000; my $number = i
+nt(rand($range)); print $number ;"
56

On the same Windows platform, running Perl v5.14.4 under Cygwin, I get 466: 
Laurent@Laurent-HP ~
$ perl -e 'srand(555);
> my $range = 1000;
> my $number = int(rand($range));
> print $number,"\n";'
466

If you really need the same pseudo-random numbers as on you old Perl version, then run your old Perl version, write the pseudo-numbers generated to a file and use the numbers in this file on your new version.

But the bottom line is, IMHO, that you should probably not try to rely on a random number generator to give you always the same sequence of numbers.
