Looks random to me. Check this out: 

$loop=5;
{
$total=100000;
for (1..$total) {
  rand > .5 and $x++ and next;
  $y++;
}
$xp=$x/$total*100; $yp=$y/$total*100;
$xd=50-$xp; $yd=50-$yp;
print "X: $x ($xp%) $xd\nY: $y ($yp%) $yd\n";
$loop-- and redo;
}

  • 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
